Master the structured approach to emergency management used by professional flight crews. From initial response to final review — every decision, captured and scored.
Traditional Risk Management Models are static, paper-based, and difficult to use under pressure. When an emergency unfolds at 35,000 feet, crews need a structured system that guides them — not a photocopied sheet they've never practised with.
Static RMM documents buried in manuals are rarely referenced during high-pressure simulator sessions. Crews default to instinct instead of structure.
Without a guided flow, crews skip critical steps. The discussion phase collapses, risk scoring is ignored, and decisions lack the rigour that saves lives.
Paper-based processes leave no audit trail. Instructors can't replay the decision pathway, and crews miss the debrief insights that drive real improvement.
The simulator walks your crew through the complete Risk Management Model — from the instructor's scenario setup to the final visual review. Every input is captured, every decision is scored.
Set the scenario, configure airfields, enter weather, NOTAMs, tech status, MEL items, and calculate weights with an integrated fuel and weight calculator (kg or lbs).
Establish safe altitude, select a flight path, declare the emergency with pre-formatted MAYDAY and PAN PAN templates, and initiate QRH procedures.
Identify what happened, assess time available, fuel state, affected systems, and crew status. Build the situational picture before making decisions.
Calculate required landing distance using unfactored distance and QRH factors. Instantly check runway sufficiency at departure, destination, and alternate with visual pass/fail indicators.
Evaluate Task, Group, and Individual needs. Score up to four options using the 3-2-1 Decision Making Matrix (3 = low risk, 1 = high risk). The system auto-calculates risk totals and highlights the safest option.
Execute the decision using the Navigation, Terrain, Weather, Operational, and Fuel framework. Confirm approach commenced and emergency services standing by.
A dynamic flowchart auto-populates from every input across all phases. Print the complete emergency management summary for debrief and records.
44px touch targets, responsive layout. Use it on an iPad in the simulator or projected in the briefing room.
Switch between metric and imperial with automatic conversion of all weight values.
Score each option across Task, Group, and Individual needs. Auto-calculated totals with colour-coded risk levels.
Instant visual pass/fail for runway sufficiency at all three airfields based on your calculated landing distance.
Print the full scenario flowchart for post-session debrief. Every decision, every score, one clean document.
