Current opinion about instructor station design, at least among the human factors engineers who specialize in that subject in the United States, is that the broad approach is old fashioned and inefficient, and the narrow approach not only is the best approach but also is the only acceptable one under any circumstance. This philosphy holds, simply, that flexibility is bad and automation is good. However, it is the opinion of the author that the basic premise of the narrow approach - that the instructor must be freeed from tasks related to operating the simulator so that he can concentrate on instructing his student - can be applied to instructor station design without incurring the rigidity and cost of automated training. In any case, the alternative discussed above are the key to making either approach optimum.
