Why we can´t live without ARINC 610C

➤ Simulator operator have to deal with the inherent limitations ◆ Possible impact on the training ◆ From lost time to disruptive training ➔ possible safety issues (i.e. negative training) ➔ costly alternate training solutions (e.g. real aircraft) ➔ costly alternate ARINC 610C approach (i.e. implementation & usage) ➤ There is a limit to the tricks that can be externally applied to aircraft equipment to trigger the proper internal response ➤ The preferred implementation strategy is by far to embed the simulator functions during the initial design of aircraft equipment ◆ Avionics OEM competitive advantages ◆ Lower cost when implemented from the initial design (as opposed to retrofit) ◆ Simulator updates in synch with aircraft evolution
