Method and system for training a gas turbine engine test cell operator

摘要

A system for training a gas turbine engine test cell operator during a simulated engine test is provided. The system includes an operator console (102), an instructor console (104), and a host computer (106) communicatively coupled to the operator console and the instructor console. The host computer includes a software engine model (204), and a data acquisition and control system (DACS) (54) configured to transmit data to the software engine model, wherein the data is indicative of at least one of an operator input received from the operator console and an instructor input received from the instructor console, the software engine model configured to transmit response data to the DACS to simulate that an operational state of a live engine (52) has changed in response to the at least one of the operator input and the instructor input.
