A software program that permits a standard computer terminal to be used as an instructor station was developed for the University of Illinois Micro Aviation Computer (ILLIMAC) simulator. A split screen format was used to display menus, from which instrument training scenarios could be developed, and to display information on the current status of the instructor inputs to the simulator. A training manual was developed to provide self-paced instruction on the operation of the instructor station. Twelve flight instructors evaluated the effectiveness of the training manual and the instructor station. Results indicated that scenarios could be entered without assistance with a minimum error rate after about one hour self-paced training. Response to a questionnaire on the effectiveness of the training program and the instructor station was very positive.
