The simulator maintenance technology (sim tech) program is one of the few training programs for simulator technicians in South Africa. The program provides hands-on training in computer systems, digital and solid state electronic devices. Printed circuit troubleshooting and a variety of other systems essential to the operation to today’s simulators.
Students in the Sim Tech program will be prepared for troubleshooting, repair and maintenance of electronics and mechanical components of simulators in all applications. Students learn to use specialized tools, test equipment, built-in diagnostic equipment and technical data to isolate and locate faulty components or system malfunctions. Sim Tech students are encouraged to participate in an elective two to three month on-site cooperation education experience with a simulator maintenance crew.

Aircraft performance engineering includes many aspects of an airplanes operation. Here we deal with a few of the most important performance measures including airfield performance, climb, and cruise. The following sections describe how each of these may be calculated at the early stages of design, by combining fundamental calculations with statistical data from actual aircrafts.
When we speak of aircraft performance we’re usually answering three basic questions:
> How much can I haul?
> How far can I go?
> How long will it take me?
It sounds simple but a specific set of interdependent variables must be considered in order to answer each of these questions. Most of these variables have to do with aircraft performance, with aircraft accident investigation findings having proven that causal factors of accidents is the unreasonable expectations of aircraft performance – especially when operating at the edges of the aircraft envelope. Understanding and calculation of aircraft performance is arguable an important element of aircraft safety.
