Air traffic growth combined with the development of new technologies means that the cockpit environment must constantly evolve to provide pilots with new features. Existing simulators for the validation of new cockpit features cover a wide range of needs, as a result of which they are over-stretched and very costly.
However, some features could be tested in advance. Drawing on this, ALTEN developedin 2016它自己的原型工具：快速。
What if new HMIs were pre-validated without going through a simulator?
As presented in our上一篇文章，Fast是一种简单，灵活的工具，致力于预先验证新的人机接口（HMI），而无需传统的模拟器。
“这个想法是要与飞行员快速同意各种驾驶舱HMI建议”
Guillaume Discours, ALTEN’s Cockpit Operations Project Manager.
Discover FAST in 3 minutes, pitched by its teams:
An open environment compatible with the “new world”
自从大流行以来，现有的模拟器已经在正常的时间内超载，这两个主要原因是：移动的时间表和非常严格的健康限制，将模拟器中的人数限制为四个。结果，在这样的配置中讨论期间，信息的损失更大，尤其是试点反馈。从这种情况下，Fast在三个领域都做得很好：
- This is amore open environment than a cockpit因为该平台不包括封闭的结构：更多的用户可以参加会议并讨论HMI预验证。
- FAST includes various means of support, and the teams have managed to adapt it to遥控使用视频会议软件。如今，由于Alten团队开发的快速工具，因此可以组织HMI预验证而无需彼此见面，这一功能在各种锁定过程中已经证明了飞行员的功能。
- 传统的超预订平台不再允许将主要航空工业集团的新员工引入驾驶舱界面。快速，the possibility of supporting these newcomers in their orientation becomes feasible once again.
“Keep it simple” as a guiding principle
Beyond the simplicity of its physical and technical deployment, FAST demonstrates its qualities of flexibility and accessibility day after day.
Its accessibility stems fromthe geographical proximity of the ALTEN offices where the FAST platform is located with the engineering departments of major customers in the aeronautics sector: It takes just five minutes to go from one building to another and interact! FAST can also be made available to customer teams to allow them to work directly on the tool independently after an initial training phase provided by ALTEN. On top of that: improvement of skills and enhanced collaboration between teams.
至于灵活性,又美好的团队知道如何广告apt FAST and its equipment on the prototyping component to various aircraft configurations, completely independent, according to customers’ needs. Below are two examples of distinct cockpit environments:
A tested, approved training offer
为了促进其在驾驶舱界面上客户工程团队的实践技能的提高，Alten已经快速建立了培训计划。Alten的培训解决方案，专注于使用由驾驶舱界面和快速平台的所有组件组成的飞行模拟器（两个屏幕，一个触摸屏，一个视频投影仪和一个Sidestick），以应对各种挑战和目标：
- Aircraft development life cycle
- Design of the cockpit system
- 了解飞行程序
- Introduction to the cockpit interface
- Mastery of flight management principles
- Achievement of a complete flight
Provided by pilots trained in dedicated schools or via airlines and certified, the training is divided into multiple module levels according to the needs: introduction to flight (Beginner Training), complete flight and flight procedures (Advanced Training), and operational focuses (preparation for flight, in-flight operations, flight management and mode of guidance, and system failures).
Participants all come out of their training module with a USB flash drive containing a recording of their flight, giving them an opportunity to replay the examined case directly from their PC and to further analyse it with their work teams.
培训课程的反馈非常积极和令人鼓舞。计划了六到八场年度会议，并将为不断改进的原则提供不断满足Alten客户需求范围的原则，因为快速对多部门的未来来说更加有希望。

FAST: a tool for cohesion and professional development
位于图卢兹的Alten团队的开放空间中the platform is more than a solution to support the Group’s customers in their technological challenges. It is also a working tool for learning and sharing.他们全天都可以访问团队，他们在平台周围互动，互相建议，并共同改善自己。
快速团队希望与新兵分享这些机会！该平台仍处于早期阶段，是实习主题的主题，其发展前景广泛，尤其是在运输，连通性和可访问性方面。这些是Alten工程师打算应对的挑战，以使在日益敏捷环境中进行任何快速HMI评估的理想测试资源。
