We are concerned with the training of Simulator Instructors, and to consider this matter we need to define the boundaries of knowledge within which the instructor must work.

I would suggest that there are four major areas which identify the boundaries. Firstly, there is the extent to which the instructor must be familiar with the handling and operation of the aircraft being simulated. On a reciprocal heading to that boundary is the extent of the knowledge he must have about the operation and function of the simulator itself.
