3.2 AW139 Precision Teaching (PT)




System Description: Precision Teaching is a behavioural method of learning aimed at increasing fluency. In Precision Teaching, fluency means being able to carry out tasks correctly and quickly. This contrasts with traditional teaching methods that tend to concentrate solely on accuracy without considering speed.

AgustaWestland is applying Precision Teaching methodology, to the creation of new training aids aimed at providing pilots and aircrew with very high levels of confidence in the use of their controls and displays. Training tasks covered by these systems include:

Helicopter cockpit familiarisation, by acquiring detailed knowledge of the location and purpose of all the controls and displays in the cockpit: instrument panel, overhead console and interseat console;

Multi Function Display familiarisation, by understanding the meaning of the displayed data (including symbols and digital data) and interacting intuitively with the appropriate data using the control menu systems;

Gaining full confidence with normal and emergency procedures, to the point where correct actions are taken under pressure to recover the situation in the minimum time required.

Precision Teaching includes student self assessment, using E-Learning technology, typically using a PC with dedicated software. Here, the student is asked a large number of questions regarding the current subject in a very short time (up to 40 questions per minute or more). The Trainee is asked to respond to the questions immediately, receiving instantaneous feedback (right or wrong). At the end of each session, trainees' results are displayed on a Celeration Chart that allows easy interpretation of its performance.

Trainees repeat the Precision Teaching assessment until they get the answers 100% correct, before moving to the next topic. The Trainee will take a Precision Teaching self assessment session for no more than 10 minutes in a day.

A Complementary Tutoring Service is also offered to monitor the performance of the students in their daily activity and to motivate them.

Main Advantages: This methodology provides:

“Knowledge retention”: Trainees will not forget what they have learned, even over long periods of time.

“Resistance to Stress”: Trainees will not forget their knowledge during the stress of a test, or later, on the job.

“Ability to apply knowledge”: Trainees will be able to apply their knowledge even to situations outside the scope of their training.


Course Objectives: (1) Cockpit Familiarization and (2) Normal & Emergency Procedures.

License policy: The software license includes one (1) student account. Each account has a duration of three (3) months from the activation.

Page 17 | 29 CAT110208


Deliverables: The multimedia material is accessed via an ADSL internet connection. A personal user account will allow each trainee to access the material and record the progress achieved.


Part number: 30-T-001-PTH


The system does not require installation as it is delivered via the Internet. Learning courses are not usually deemed necessary to operate the system.

Options: The number and/or duration of the accounts can be extended. Single user licenses are available.

3.3 AW139 Interactive Cockpit Explorer (ICE)




System Description: Modern helicopter cockpits are characterised by sophisticated instruments with Multi Function Displays and menu driven controls. It is essential that the pilots of these aircraft gain full confidence with the cockpit during training so they operate the aircraft safely. The interactive Cockpit Explorer is a dedicated multimedia application designed specifically for Pilot cockpit familiarisation. Using a virtual 3D cockpit, the student selects each panel/instrument to obtain information about the controls, switches, lights, etc. that are on it. The student navigates around the pages of the Multimedia Displays using a graphical Cursor Control Device (CCD). For each symbol on the displayed page, an explanation is given in terms of:

the meaning of each symbol;

the correct range of parameters applicable to the relevant operating conditions (Airspeed, Engine Torque, Rotor Speed, etc);

related cautions and warnings.

The student can also:

access a list of Caution and Warning messages

hear the associated audio warnings

read the relevant recovery procedures from the Flight Manual.

Moreover, the ICE includes video of specific procedures relevant to the operation being undertaken, such as engine starts and pre-flight checks.

3.6 AW139 Virtual Maintenance Trainer (VMT)





System Description: Simulation has a valuable and effective role in maintenance training. The VMT is based on an emulation approach for maintenance training that supports maintenance technicians in developing the knowledge and skills required to maintain helicopter via the correct application of maintenance procedures and in troubleshooting analysis to correctly diagnose faults.

The VMT provides a complete and flexible training environment. The instructor can set up and activate emulated fault conditions. Fault conditions can be investigated and solved by the student which prevents wasting trainee time doing and repeating low-value tasks (i.e. unscrew bolts to open panels, etc.) and focusing his efforts on more important and useful activities.

The VMT utilizes advanced graphical visualization techniques to simulate, in a virtual environment helicopter systems and related maintenance operations

The VMT is a suite of basic functions that are, in a fully interactive 3D environment, tailored for:

practicing maintenance procedures;

troubleshooting and fault isolation procedures.

The VMT reproduces an interactive training scenario for maintenance technicians on three screens. It operates in a classroom networked environment that has one (1) Instructor Operating Station (IOS) and two (2) Trainee Stations (TS). The IOS communicates with the TS using a local network that will be made available by the customer.

The IOS has the same configuration as the TS, but is uploaded with additional software modules to monitor, control and give correct feedbacks to the trainee.

Main Advantages: The VMT provides students with maintenance familiarization and practice. The helicopter cockpit equipment location, systems and components are faithfully reproduced in a graphical approach to gain a consolidated understanding of system maintenance procedures and troubleshooting procedures.

Target Population: Maintenance Technicians.

Deliverables: There are three different packages (Part numbers):

This experience has been used to create the dedicated Multimedia Interactive Maintenance Environment for Training (MIMET) multimedia station, where multimedia courseware, technical publications and audio visual information are integrated to provide a highly efficient training tool. The station can also be used by instructors, students, maintenance technicians, logistics personnel, pilots and operational staff as an efficient additional source of technical information and procedures during training and operationally through life. MIMET enables students and technicians to assimilate knowledge quickly and accurately. It also enhances knowledge retention through regular practical application of the real systems in a controlled environment. The system is delivered with a dataset that is fully aligned with the configuration of the customer‟s aircraft at the time of delivery. It is also designed to accommodate updates from the aircraft IETP, to maintain configuration control against the aircraft throughout its operational life. This is essential to ensure that full value is derived from the system.

MIMET software is hosted on an AgustaWestland training and operative maintenance station. This includes an ergonomic industrial cabinet on twin castor wheels so it can be moved easily around the workshop. This cabinet has a COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) Personal Computer (PC) that is accessible from a lockable door for security.

The following items are mounted on the MIMET worktop:

two LCD colour monitors;

loudspeakers;

mouse (or trackball as required);

keyboard (housed in a key protected drawer).

MIMET makes extensive use of video material and intuitive U3D GRAPHICS to provide accurate visualisation of specific, often complex, maintenance procedures such as component removal and installation, inspections and refilling.

Main Advantages: The MIMET solution provides the following benefits:

shop floor training near the aircraft with rapid access to technically accurate maintenance information;

on-demand training;

reduced maintenance time;

increased technician performance;

reduced training, operation and support costs;

reduced false removals;

compatible and easily upgradable with CBT, VMT and several other AgustaWestland training tools.

Target Population: Maintenance Technicians.
