IMI 1(Passive)
Before energizing the No. 1 hydraulic system with
electrical power, the nose landing gear lock must be
engaged. This can be confirmed by checking the pop out
door panel on the port nose of the aircraft
Safety Check – Nose Landing Gear Lock
Prior to entering the aircraft, it should be confirmed that
the External AC power is on and the Green light on
control panel is lit up

Obstacles What's Stopping us for doing 3D Training
Development Time
Difficult to Use Tools Platform Limitations
High CostHigh Cost
Development times for high interactivity can exceed 15 times more than stand up instruction
Development Times
Limited publishing options (does it have web, or LMS capabilities, can it publish to mobile devices? Or can it publish an EXE file? SCORM compliant? xAPI. Can it support collaboration, off-line development?
Platform Limitations
The costs for developing interactive training can exceed 10 times that of stand up instruction
High Costs
Does it require special skills?
- Programming, Animator
Is it easily Learned?
Difficult to Use Tools
