Running a training session

Every AVOPSIM program follows the same four-step mission flow. The details vary by program; see each program's Running a mission article.

1. Assign. The instructor selects or builds a mission (location, vehicle, traffic, time of day and weather) and assigns it from the Examiner Console.
2. Drive. The trainee drives the mission on the digital twin, following the signage, markings, hold points and procedures of your airport.
3. Track. Aircraft and vehicle traffic move through the scenario. Compliance, clearance, speed and timing are tracked throughout.
4. Score and record. The mission returns a pass or fail with a log of violations. Results go to the training record for debrief.

Before the session

• Confirm every station is powered on, connected to the internet and signed in.
• Check the controls (wheel, pedals, shifter or controller) and headsets respond.
• Choose missions appropriate to each trainee's level.

During the session

• Monitor all stations from the Examiner Console.
• Note situations to replay during the debrief.

After the session

• Review the results and the violation log with each trainee.
• Replay the situations that went wrong and repeat them until correct.
• Assign self-paced practice on desk stations between instructor-led sessions.
