Lesson Plan Profile Workspace
Unlike the LESSON PLAN Tab in the Control Board, that shows the lesson training
phases and steps in two scrollable sections, the Lesson Plan Profile workspace
provides an alternate mean to show the same lesson elements.
The Lesson Plan Profile workspace allows instructor to see at a quick glance most, if
not all the training elements included in the lesson plan. This of course is driven by
the size of the lesson.
This view mode is scrollable from left to right and vice versa to allow the viewing of
all lesson plan elements over the flight profile.
At this point, tapping on the lesson step again would execute the step (i.e. Tap once to
select, tap again to execute).
The color of lesson plan steps shown in the Canvas view mode is identical to those
shown in the Control Board LESSON PLAN tab.
Freeplay and Nested lesson steps do not have a step sequence number as these can be
triggered at any time in the lesson plan.

WARNING:
In this scenario, the intruder approaches from the direction selected in the Horizontal
Position pane and will follow that same trajectory until the time of collision is
approximately 100 sec before the closest point of approach.
Then, the vertical path of the intruder is computed to achieve a relative altitude that
will have the intruder pass inside the TA altitude limit but outside the RA altitude
limit.
This maneuver will be completed 10 seconds before entering into the RA range
envelope.
In this scenario, one of the two intruders will approach from the direction selected on
the Horizontal Position pane while the other intruder will be positioned at a relative
bearing that can vary from 15 to 45 degrees from the bearing of the first intruder.
The intruders remain at the same altitude until the time of collision is approximately
100 seconds before closest point of approach. The vertical path of intruders remains
symmetric with respect to own aircraft.
Advanced
13 Oct 2017

The first maneuver of intruders is computed to allow them to always respect a relative
altitude of 100 to 150 feet inside the RA altitude envelope. As soon as one of the two
intruders meets both TA conditions (i.e. altitude and range), the audio message
“TRAFFIC TRAFFIC” is heard.
The intruders should stabilize at an altitude inside the RA altitude envelope and
maintain a level flight until the end of the scenario. During this scenario, TCAS will
give preventive advisory like “MONITOR VERTICAL SPEED” when the first
intruder satisfies both RA conditions (i.e. altitude and range). No corrective advisory
should be heard until the “CLEAR OF CONFLICT” message is issued and no crew
action is required for this scenario.
In this scenario, the intruder starts from the direction selected on the Horizontal
Position pane and remains at the same altitude until the time of collision is
approximately 100 sec before the closest point of approach.
The first maneuver of the intruder is computed to allow the intruder to reach a relative
altitude within the RA altitude envelope (which is approximately 100 ft inside the
envelope) and 10 seconds before the intruder enters into the RA range envelope.
During this maneuver, the audio message “TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC” should be heard
initially when the intruder satisfies both TA conditions (i.e. altitude and range).
In the next 15 seconds, the vertical path of the intruder is computed to target an
altitude of 100 feet above (or below) the own aircraft altitude at the closest point of
approach.
During this phase, a corrective advisory message should be issued to avoid the
intruder. The crew must follow the corrective advisory rapidly and smoothly without
overshooting the target. The intruder will continue his descent (or climb) at a rate
between 1500 and 2000 feet/minute until 5 seconds after the closest point of approach
and stabilize at this altitude. No other corrective advisory message will be announced
until the “CLEAR OF CONFLICT” message.

In this scenario, the crew is required to increase climb/descend to clear the conflict,
due to the maneuver by the threat.
The intruder starts from the direction selected on the Horizontal Position pane and
remains at the same altitude until the time of collision is approximately 100 sec
before the closest point of approach.
The first maneuver of the intruder is computed to allow the intruder to reach a relative
altitude within the RA altitude envelope (which is approximately 100 ft inside the
envelope) and 10 seconds before the intruder enters into the RA range envelope.
During this maneuver, the audio message “TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC” should be heard
initially when the intruder satisfies both TA conditions (i.e. altitude and range).
During the next 15 seconds, the intruder vertical path is computed to target an altitude
100 feet above (or below) the own aircraft altitude at the closest point of approach.
During this next phase, a corrective advisory message should be issued to avoid the
intruder. The crew must follow the corrective advisory rapidly and smoothly without
overshooting the target. The intruder will continue his descent (or climb) at a rate
between 2000 and 2500 feet/minute until 5 seconds after the closest point of approach
and stabilize at this altitude.
A second corrective advisory message should be issued to avoid the intruder. The
crew must follow the new corrective advisory rapidly and smoothly without
overshooting the target. No other corrective advisory message will be announced until

During the maneuver, the crew is required to do a second maneuver to clear the
conflict, due to the maneuver by the second threat.
Two intruders will be asymmetrically positioned (in horizontal and vertical planes)
with respect to own aircraft. Only one of the two intruders will start from the
direction selected on the Horizontal Position pane while the other intruder will be
positioned at a relative bearing which varies from 15 to 45 degrees from the bearing
of the first intruder.
Each intruder remains at the same altitude until the time of collision is approximately
100 seconds before the closest point of approach. One of the intruders will pass above
and the other intruder will pass below the own aircraft during the scenario.
The maneuver of the first intruder is computed to allow the intruder to reach a relative
altitude inside the RA altitude envelope (about 100-150 feet inside) and 10 seconds
before the intruder enters into the RA range envelope. During this maneuver the audio
message “TRAFFIC TRAFFIC” should be heard when the intruder meets both TA
conditions (altitude and range).
During the next 15 seconds, the intruder vertical path is computed to target an altitude
100 feet above (or below) the own aircraft altitude at the closest point of approach.
During this next phase, a corrective advisory message should be issued to avoid this
intruder and will command the crew to fly the aircraft in the direction of the second
intruder.
The crew must follow the corrective advisory rapidly and smoothly without
overshooting the target. The first intruder stabilizes at this altitude and the second
intruder, who was not previously a resolution advisory, becomes a resolution
advisory.

The scenario starts with the intruder approaching from the location selected in the
Horizontal Position pane and at the same level as the own aircraft.
The path of the intruder is continuously re-computed to mirror that of the own aircraft
until the first resolution advisory is issued by the own aircraft.
As the TCAS detects that the intruder does not dis-engage (in other words, it is still
approaching the own a/c at the same level), the own a/c will issue a second RA (this
is the reversal RA).
As the own a/c tries to maneuver to avoid conflict after the reversal RA, the intruder
dis-engages (i.e, stops mirroring the actions of the own a/c) and follows its own
trajectory at that point.
Note: It should be noted that while the acceleration response to the initial RA is
approximately 0.25g, the acceleration response to the reversal RA is
approximately 0.35g.

16.5.1 ATIS
The ATIS page allows the instructor to monitor the current ATIS voice message that
is available at the Reference Airport and any of the Airport/En Route Environment
airports (or simply Environment Airports) which are defined.
The selected reference airport ICAO code appears just below the AIRPORT tab. A
green REF flag next to the ICAO airport code indicates that this is the reference
airport.
There two modes for the ATIS Messages: Automatic and Manual.
The default mode under normal conditions is Automatic. In this mode the ATIS
messages for the Reference Airport and the Environment Airports are automatically
updated to reflect the current weather on the Environment page and the Airport/En
Route Environment page. Whenever a weather change is entered by the instructor in
these pages, the ATIS message for that airport is immediately updated to reflect this
change.
In Automatic mode, the ATIS voice message cannot be overridden and therefore all
the weather input buttons on the ATIS page are disabled or grayed out. However, all
the text next to these disabled or grayed out buttons is displayed in white, since the
values reflect the actual ATIS message. The order of the buttons and weather readouts
matches the ATIS message format for the selected airport. The format type, FAA or
ICAO, is displayed in the sub-title.
There are two buttons on the ATIS page that are never disabled or grayed out:
Approach and Remarks. This is so because these are not associated with the weather
on the Environment page for the airports. The user can, at any time:
• Tap on either button
• Make another selection
• Tap on the Update Broadcast button
o The current ATIS message will be updated to reflect the selections.
The Manual mode allows the instructor to override the ATIS message at a airport.
The Manual mode is enabled by tapping on the Manual button. Doing so enables all
the weather input buttons on the ATIS page. At this point the instructor can then
make new selections and Update Broadcast to activate the new messages.
