  6. Instructional Technology – Examples: • CBT-A-1: New Aircraft Characteristics CBT • Updated for 2004 release (includes Helicopters) • Single CBT contains interactive menus and videos of aircraft and test questions; replaced 5 CBTs • Some computers may require updated drivers to view the videos (core data is still useable)

  7. Instructional Technology – Examples: • TSS CBI (Maxsim v.2.0) • ADACEL developed product • CBI Covers: • MaxSim environment • CBI use and overview • Trainee positions • Equipment and position training • Scenario Supervisor • Scenario management • Scenario Preparation • Maintenance Training

  17. AOF Web -Training Managers’ Role • Accomplish local task breakdown (lowest denominator) • Identify and embed local TR information into the AOF Web MTTR • OI’s, MAJCOM Supplements, QRC’s, RRF’s, OPLANs etc • Ensure local TRs are current according to the MRI • Identify facility management deferred task items

  22. Future Projects – Anti Hijack CBT • FAAO 7110.49E: Unlawful Interference – Hijack/Bomb (Threat) Aboard Aircraft – Procedures and Covert Signals • Updated pre-existing FAA order • Current AFI 13-207 ATC procedures are “loosely” base on previous version • ATC covert communications will change significantly • New CBT will reflect new covert communication procedures

  23. Recap • ATC Instructional Technology • Definitions • AOF Web • Who, What, Why, When and How • Future Projects • Anti Hijack CBT
