AVAILABILITY AND USE OF TRAINING FACILITIES AND SIMULATORS
KEY AREA 4
•
Section A-I/12 of the STCW Code in
its paragraph 1 requires, among
others, that each Party shall ensure
that any simulator used for
mandatory
simulator-based
training shall: (2) be capable of
simulating
the
operating
capabilities
of
shipboard
equipment concerned, to a level of
physical realism appropriate to
training objectives, and include the
capabilities,
limitations
and
possible errors of such equipment;
(3) have sufficient behavioural
realism to allow a trainee to
acquire the skills appropriate to
the training objectives.
Section A-I/12 of the STCW Code in
its paragraph 4 requires that Radar
simulation equipment shall be
capable
of
simulating
the
operational
capabilities
of
navigational radar equipment
which
meets
all
applicable
performance standards adopted
by the Organization. Section A-I/12
of the STCW Code in its paragraph
4 requires that ARPA simulation
equipment shall be capable of
simulating
the
operational
capabilities of ARPAs which meet
all
applicable
performance
standards
adopted
by
the
Organization.
Section A-I/12 of the STCW Code in
its paragraph 2 requires that each
Party shall ensure that any
simulator used for the assessment
of competence required under the
Convention
or
for
any
demonstration
of
continued
proficiency so required shall: (2) be
capable
of
simulating
the
operational capabilities of the
shipboard equipment concerned
to a level of physical realism
appropriate to the assessment
objectives,
and
include
the
capabilities,
limitations
and
possible errors of such equipment;
(3) have sufficient behavioural
realism to allow a candidate to
exhibit the skills appropriate to the
assessment objectives.
However, at the Cristal E-College,
the Radar and ECDIS monitors of
the full mission bridge simulator
and
its
eight
mini-bridges
available display a distorted
image (the video card of the
associated computer does not
have the required capability to
display a circular image with the
correct diameter). Thus, the
Radar image displayed is not
circular and the scale of the
electronic
nautical
chart
(hereinafter - ENCs) are not
presented correctly. Therefore,
the requirements of Section AI/12 of the STCW Code are not
guaranteed.
