The simulator's technicians' jobs can be broadly divided into 3, the maintenance of the images and the related system, the maintenance of the electrical and mechanical systems and the related aircraft systems and the related computers.

2. The Full Flight Simulator
• Flying in the simulator is like flying in the actual
cockpit of the aircraft.
▫ The equipments are the same as the aircraft
▫ The movement is simulated and almost the same
▫ The sound is simulated, sound like the real
aircraft.
▫ The look and feel is real
• The job of a simulator technician is to keep the
machine running.

3. The simulator
The pilots sitting in the cockpit will
Feel like sitting in the real aircraft
a. Look at the windshield, it almost like the
real scenery
b. The instruments are real aircraft parts.
These are where the similarities ended:
-There are large computers to generate
the images, the instruments, the motion
and the sound

4. About the flight simulator
-The motion is provided by six hydraulic actuator
- The simulator is mounted on the floating platform.
The Technician has to maintain the system that
