What is Simulation Learning?Simulation learning offers huge advantages over

traditional training methods such as lectures,

handbooks and assessments. It engages participantsinteractively helping them to practice, retain and applywhat they have learned.

Why Simulation Learning?Simulations are simplified versions of reality; they place

participants in realistic business environments where

they are asked to complete tasks with legitimatebusiness goals. They capture the essentials of aworkplace environment in a way that allowsparticipants to apply new skills, try differentapproaches and explore the implications of decisionsand actions risk free.

Benefits of Simulation Learningy Accelerates knowledge transfer through learning by doing in a risk-free

environmenty Provides participants with realistic and relevant contexts in which to

test and develop their understanding, knowledge and competencey Practice inherent in simulations, enhances transfer of knowledge to on-

the-job performancey Enables participants to develop and internalize knowledge by applying

new skills in a risk-free environmenty Provides real time feedback allowing participants to assess their

current situation, analyse options for moving forward and measure

results of past decisions and actionsy Interactive, dynamic, engaging and fun through design elements such

as graphics, video, audio, storytelling, grounded learning andrecognizable environments

y Provides a f lexible user driven experience that lifts motivation

Simulator Based Training in

Aviationy The importance of training has been realised since the

inception of manned flight. From the early days of

gliding it was usual for "pilots" to sit in the glider,which was exposed to a strong facing wind and "feel"the controls by keeping the wings in a horizontalposition. Thus, even before the glider flew, the pilothad some experience of the lateral controls.

This photograph was published in 1910, as can be seen, it consisted oftwo half-sections of a barrel mounted and moved manually torepresent the pitch and roll of an aeroplane. The prospective pilot satin the top section of this device and was required to line up a referencebar with the horizon.

y The need for the training of large numbers of pilotsduring World War I encouraged the development of

the new discipline of aviation psychology and testswere introduced for aviator selection.

y In the late 1920's the need was starting to be felt forthe effective training of pilots in the skills of "blind" or

instrument flying.

Electronic Flight Simulationy Amajor advance in simulation during the war period

was the use of the analogue computer to solve the

equations of motion of the aircrafty In 19 1 an electronic simulator was designed and built .

y The first computer image generation systems forsimulation were produced by the General Electric

ompany (USA) for the space programme.y urrent systems, can produce images of night, dusk,

and daylight, they can run at two rates 60Hz fordaylight, or 0Hz for dusk/night.

Simulator Based Training in

Maritime Industryy One of the biggest things shipping can learn from aviation is a

systematic approach to safety

y oncept of crew resource management ( RM) is making an

increasingly common move from the world of aviation into theshipping industry.

y The experts who have helped translate RMs shift from sky tosea believe the two transport modes have much in common.

y As ships bridges increasingly resemble the flight decks of

aircraft, the similarities between the demands on the operatorsconverge.

y And the techniques that have helped to improve aviation safetystandards over the past years have become increasingly relevantto shipping.

y Behavioural scientistAdam owburn helped to develop thefirst shipping industry bridge resource management (BRM)training package whilst working with the SAS FlightAcademy some 20 years ago.

y BRM training seeks to create such a culture change, byhelping seafarers understand the critical psychological andinterpersonal skills they need to work safely. BRM has

broadened into engine resource management (ERM) andfurther refined into maritime crew resource management(M RM) reflecting its emphasis on all onboard, ratherthan just bridge teams.

si latorsy The increase in the number of vessels has led to a

tremendous demand for well-trained crews.

yTraditional recruiting and training methods have notbeen able to cope with the rising demand, resulting inless experienced crews, stressful working conditionsand ultimately in lower safety standards on board.

y

As the importance of improving quality and managingrisk increases, requirement of simulation trainingtools is emerging that could assist to remedy thissituation


15/16

y The industry will need to deal with the shortage of crews,smaller crew sizes, changes in navigation and ship controltechnology, change in culture, changing employer-

employee relationships, fatigue, a changing socialenvironment and possibly many more challenges.

y Risk-based management is the industrys answer to managerisks induced by human failure. It involves risk assessment,evaluation, addressing and a feed back/improvement

requirement.y As 80% of all incidents have their roots in human error, it

stands to reason that we should address the humanperformance element.


16/16

y The integration of marine simulation into marinertraining programmes will continue to offer

opportunities to improve human performance costeffectively in a safe environment.
