Our team is seeking a Simulation Certification Instructor to train military pilots, flight engineers, and aviation civilians in flight simulation device evaluation and qualification activities required for the National Simulator Program qualification test. The instructor role is ad hoc, with the expectation of a minimum of three offerings per year. Each course entails either five days (40 hours) or eight days (64 hours) of classroom time, which is conducted in-person at the client’s worksite.

The Course Instructor Role will include the following responsibilities:

• Training – Conduct a combination of classroom-based learning and Full Flight Simulator device-based laboratory exercises that cover the fundamentals of simulator design elements such as aerodynamic modelling, control loading and motion, data sources, visual systems, audio systems, objective and subjective testing, simulator hardware, validation data challenges, and regulations as they pertain to FSTDs.
• Classroom Based Learning – Facilitate student learning through tutorials, case studies, and classroom discussions. The instructor provides invaluable knowledge by sharing experiences through question-and-answer sessions conducted throughout the course.
• Laboratory Based Practical Exercises – Apply classroom-based learning to practical, hands-on scenarios utilizing a Full Flight Simulator.
