Simulator Handling
Instructor > Situation > Time:
• Hover the mouse over an object on this page to show tooltips with descriptions.
• Time-jump to sets the simulated UTC, the aircraft altitude (and cabin altitude), position,
track, speed, clocks, fuel, to the FMC-predicted values of the next waypoint. Configure your
flaps and instruments before jumping between high-speed and low-speed legs.
• Use the pause function only if you need to pause the entire simulation. System training is
not possible when paused. To keep the aircraft stationary with the systems running, just
stop the motion. Note: When the motion is stopped while changing the aircraft’s air-ground
status by the Instructor tools, the air-ground relays may be locked (refer to PSEU in chapter
Landing Gear). This is because the gear struts will remain compressed, or uncompressed
respectively, when the motion is stopped. To release the lock, just unfreeze the motion.
• The time acceleration applies to all features except for audio, traffic, switch animations,
and various flashing lights. WXR/TERR sweeps will blank when the time factor is above 4.
Do not apply high factors in flight when the frame rate is low, else the time frame resolution
will be too low for flight stabilization, and the aircraft may get out of control.
