MIL-HDBK-1027/4A
Instructor Station/Console. The Instructor Station/Console
controls the simulation. Depending upon the functional requirements of the
training equipment, the instructor station or console is either a free
standing unit or is incorporated into the trainee station to allow the
instructor a direct view of the trainee. Visual contact with the device is
often desirable and can provide relief to an otherwise cavernous space, as
well as provision for monitoring pilot access in and out of the device. The
console provides the instructor with the capability of monitoring trainee
activities and controlling the training session. Separate space for this
station is not always required for flight simulators.
Provide an access floor system. This may also be an integral part
of the simulator device contained on-board or in other cases, both separated
and integral stations could be required. Consoles for double dome trainers
may be adjacent to each other, but a folding curtain must be incorporated for
temporary separation. Wall mountings for charts may be required.
Instructor Work Room. Separate dedicated instructor work space
from trainee gathering areas and trainee pedestrian traffic. Locate near or
contiguous with the Library/Learning Center for access to resource materials.
Provide large, clear areas for instructor work space to permit
flexibility in reapportionment of spaces. This area should be designed
around a modular scheme for the greatest possible flexibility in arrangement.
When individual offices are required within general areas, they should be
enclosed by lightweight, movable partitions. Systems or modular furniture
provides privacy and acoustical control in an open environment and allows
great flexibility for changing instructor work space. PC work stations may
be used here on a network. Design power, telephone, and data distribution
wiring systems in this area to allow for frequent changes.
Janitor Closet. Provide adjustable shelving and storage space for
cleaning equipment and supplies, mop rack, and a deep sink or mop receptor on
each floor.
Learning Stations. The learning stations are primarily computer
aided instruction utilizing student carrels. The instruction proceeds at the
students' own pace and ability to learn the material.
Learning Station Computer Support. Most computer aided instruction
systems now in use require a central processor which is usually located
adjacent to the learning stations area. Direct and dedicated support of
learning stations is provided. Provide access floor where required. Future
technology advancements may replace the central processor with a desktop
computer unit located in the learning stations area. Interactive courseware
(ICW) may be used.
Up to eight classified file safes may be used. Provide security
measures as required by the user and the base security officer in conjunction
with NCIS.
Library/Learning Center. This space provides information and
resources. Larger centers require control of equipment and materials with a
service counter and work space which will provide orderly issue and receipt
