DESIGNER'S NOTES
The philosophy behind Accu-Sim was born many years ago.
This has all been a dream to us, until now. After many
years, we are proud to present our dream to you, our
customer.
Accu-Sim is about believing you are there. It's knowing
that in the real world certain truths exist. However, we
also expect the unexpected, because in life, things do
not always fall right into place. When you hit the
starter for a great big radial engine, it doesn't always
just say, "Yes, sir," and start right up. Sometimes it
does, and when that happens you may think, “That was a
nice startup.” Other times, the engine does something
else – it turns over, it sputters, it coughs, and when
just enough things happen to line up, brrrrroooom, the
engine fires up. It is not a whole lot different than
starting your cold lawn mower engine, but a large
aircraft engine just has a lot more going on.
Accu-Sim understands that while one aircraft may be the
same model as the next, each aircraft is unique. It also
understands that if we do things exactly the same way as
we did before, things will not always respond in kind.
Most of the time, yes, things will go as we expect. But
there is a tolerance we watch for in all things. For
example, if your engine tends to run at a specific
temperature, say 220 degrees, and that engine is running
at 225 degrees, you may consider that normal, or
acceptable. Maybe 230 degrees is the point when you
think, “That is a little too high,” or maybe 230 degrees
is again considered OK by someone else. This is because
you, the pilot, are considering not just the temperature
of that engine, but all the other factors that go into
what makes that engine heat up. Perhaps it's a bit
warmer outside the aircraft or you want a little more
speed that day so you've closed your cowl flaps an extra
inch, trading speed for a little hotter temperature.
Maybe the temperature gauge is off a bit, or perhaps
you, the pilot, become a bit concerned. Maybe these
indicators mean something more is at play. Perhaps you
let the engine run a bit too hot on takeoff or maybe
something else, completely out of your control, is at
work.
No matter what it is, the world is not run by absolute
numbers; it's run by real things we can see and touch.
It's observing the behavior of such things and making
decisions based upon what we know to be true. With
Accu-Sim, one thing is for certain – no two flights are
the same.
