TRAINING.

Confucious said: I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand. 

If you want your personnel to be proficient in the use of a piece of equipment, train them and let them

practice with an emulation. The Menn Report (1991) estimates that knowledge retention rises to 90%

if a person carries out a task (or emulation) compared to only 10% if they read or 20% if they hear

about it. AgustaWestland Helicopters and the Defence Helicopter Flying School (UK) use helicopter

systems emulations developed by RaPro. These form a major part of their aircrew and groundcrew

training courses.

Visualisation. The student sees the effects of their actions. Many concepts are difficult to visualize.

An emulation with an Active Schematic will simplify the teaching of these subjects. For example, the

Bell 412EP Helicopter fuel system emulation not only mimics all of the operators controls, but also

shows the student exactly what effect their interaction has on the complex group of fuel cells, pumps

and valves. The instructor may use the emulation to teach the subject, then let the student practice

as much as required - building confidence and familiarity. The Electrical Generation and Distribution

emulation allows pilots and ground crew to 'see' what is happening as they free-play with the system.
