Generic Hand Skill Trainer MK2 (GenSkill)

The Generic Hand Skills Trainer (GenSkill) is a free standing physical prepresentation of a typical Flying Control Run. The Mark 2 builds and enhances on the training capability of the standard GenSkill training device by introducing a functioning low voltage aircraft circuit as a fabrication and modification embodiment to extend training to avionic skills.

Key features:

• Introduction of a functioning low voltage aircraft circuit
• Electrical harness fabrication
• Sheet metal fabrication
• Assembly of an aircraft – style LRU including soldering and terminating wires
• Testing of the system with a portable test set (one supplied per 5 units)
• Instructor controlled fault harness replaces the student harness with in-built faults
• Up to 23 practical tasks

Training standards and qualifications include:

• EASA/EMAR PT66
• FAA
• City & Guilds
• CASA MEA Units

Supported Training

The students perform practical maintenance tasks, through the access panels. The flying control tasks include:

• Inspect Flying Control System
• Lubricate Flying Control Torque Tube & Lubricate Pivot Arm Assemblies
• Remove, Install & Examine Torque Tube Assembly & Outer Bell Crank;
• Remove & Install Powered Flying Control Unit, PFCU Control Rods, Pivot Arm Assemblies & Torque Tube Lever Assembly
• Rigging of PFCU and Control Linkage

The hydraulic practical tasks include inspect hydraulic system, remove and install the follow: 4 port manifold, 6 port manifold, 3 way depress valve, pressure transducer, rigid pipework and flexible pipework.

The GenSkill MK2 provides students with the opportunity to carry out and inspect electrical compartment LRU, remove and install line replaceable unit (LRU), carry out electrical harness continuity checks, troubleshoot/ fault tree analysis, sheet metal fabrication and harness fabrication, as part of the avionics practical tasks.

On task completion the instructor/supervisor can open the hinged, shell top to inspect and debrief the student on their resultant standard of work.

A full list of practical tasks and simulated faults can be found in our technical brochure.
