The maintenance tech has to go out today and get the fault to present itself. It becomes very much like trying to find a needle in a haystack,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he says.<br \/>New programs will use new ideas as instructors leverage traditional systems such as Integrated Procedures Trainers (IPT) and Virtual Maintenance Trainers (VMT). \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We basically bring a virtual aircraft into the classroom to cover system operations and troubleshooting,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says Roberts. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153These devices are also utilized to prepare clients for engine run and taxi sessions in the full flight simulator (FFS).\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<br \/>In India, CAE\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Bangalore training center is in development, as is the country\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s national flight academy, the Rajiv Gandhi National Flying Training Institute, which is owned by CAE and the Indian Government.
