Statistics accounting of aircraft equipment failures in the cockpit crew simulator training program (by the example of Antonov-24)

O.N. Dmitriev, V.A. Shulgin

In consideration of flight simulator primary importance in the process of flight crew training of aircraft equipment fault isolation practicing it is pointed out that such training must be focused on the flight failures which have the largest influence on the safety of the flight. But on the other hand it must go by the failure recurrence regardless of their significance. In the result the most important factor is the aircraft equipment ageing, as the domestic aircraft life time is extended for a long period of time. The list of failures, practiced during simulator training and correspondent to the formulated criteria, is identified.

Key words: flight crew, human factor, safety of the flight, simulator training, statistics accounting of aircraft equipment failures.
