There are two options available to the instructor to activate a malfunction. A malfunction can be activated
by selection or when preselected conditions are satisfied during the lesson. The instructor can also review
a malfunction’s failure effects and indications for assistance in making appropriate selections.
Any selected malfunction, whether active or preselected, can be cleared to allow others to be entered.
The effects of a triggered malfunction will be canceled by clearing it; however, the associated failed
system may not be reset. A resetting option allows the instructor to counteract the effects of previously
employed malfunctions in certain systems, or to replenish systems depleted through flight. Whether the
system is reset after a malfunction is cleared depends upon the Malfunction Definition, which can be
found in the Malfunction Document or by accessing the Malfunction Description Window.
Refer to the Malfunction Definition in the Malfunction Document, or the malfunction’s Description
Window for information about a specific malfunction.

WALK AROUND INSPECTION
The purpose of the Walk Around Inspection is to verify that all personnel are clear from the simulator
area and that the simulator is safe to operate. If any condition exists that could be perceived as unsafe,
report it to a technician before beginning training.
1) Under the simulator and by the access ramp, inspect for leaks or drips coming from
beneath the cockpit, evidence of ongoing maintenance, maintenance stands, tools or test
equipment, open or incompletely closed panels, or any other condition that might indicate
that starting the simulator would be unwise or dangerous.
2) In the simulator, check for evidence of ongoing maintenance, tools or test equipment,
removed panels or instruments, or any other condition that might indicate that starting the
simulator would be unwise or dangerous.
3) In the Instructor Station area, confirm that all keyboards, books, and other training gear is
stowed in its proper place and that all doors are securely closed.
4) Inspect the cockpit to verify that no one is using or performing maintenance on the
simulator.
5) At the Instructor Station console, check for unusual displays on the touch screens.
6) Before initially engaging the Control Loading or Motion Systems, confirm that all
personnel are clear from the simulator area and cockpit controls.
