VITALSIMULATION.COM

2009- Present

Director & Developer

 

 

www.vitalsimulation.com is my web site for marketing training aids and guides, to pilots and enthusiasts through out the world.

 

I have developed an A330-200 simulation in a very modular form, such that I can produce smaller modular training aids.

 

The tasks I have carried out are:

Marketing

Sales

Sales Support to clients from many nations

Web Site design

Company management

Software Installation Processes

E Commerce web interfaces

 

Software development of All aspects of the A330-200 aircraft simulation from real time, Aerodynamics, Flight controls through to system models, Windows Graphical interfaces, Direct X interfaces and real time LAN communications between PCs.

 

I have produced full HTML Airbus equipment guides for the MCDU and FMGS.

PHILOTECH GMBH 2008-2009 Germany

Simulation Design

 

 

I carried on with several areas of the Eurofighter Full Mission simulator design whilst at Philotech GmBH.

 

Notable tasks were

 

Reflective memory Interface design and control

Production Configuration Control

EADS 1998-2008 Germany

Consultant

 

 

I worked in a team responsible for the Eurofighter Aircrew Training systems. This involved the requirements, system design, project management, integration and acceptance of a set of Full Mission Networked domed fighter simulations, together with a fully configurable lesson planer, and scenario generation, and computer generated forces.

 

I was involved in all parts of the project and worked together with companies from Italy, France, Germany, UK, USA and Canada, developing the system design and real time communications system between all the various computers involved.

 

In addition to system requirements, design and integration, I also developed some of the real time software used with the reflective memory communications between the computers, as well as some additional monitoring programs.

Computer Share Ltd 1998 UK

Contract Software Programmer

 

I worked with a small team developing the company’s product for an automatic share routing system. I worked on routing engine part , which was coded in C.  The engine had the capability of dealing with millions of share transactions with corresponding high integrity.  A CVS s/w configuration system was used to ensure proper configuration control

PTN 1994-1998 Indonesia

Technical Assistant

 

I was initially responsible for the avionics simulation in the Engineering Flight Simulator for the N250 regional turbo-prop aircraft. This included a full software simulation of the Engine Instrument and Crew Alerting System (EICAS), Air data System (ADS),  and the Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS). I integrated many hardware aircraft items into the simulator such as the Collins IAPS, autopilot and yaw damper.

 

After the first flight of the N250 I became increasingly involved with the actual aircraft system design of the Stall prevention system and the ADS for the aircraft. I was part of the team designing the stick pusher characteristics and cockpit instrumentation for the stall prevention system. This aircraft design work included the analysis of wiring schematics, control law & logic and safety analysis. I carried out an investigation exercise that allowed IPTN to properly correct their ADS for static error. Towards the end of my time at IPTN, I was focused on the transformation of the engineering simulator from a requirement analysis tool to a certification tool. This involved the setting up of a complete configuration control mechanism for the simulator hardware and software and working together with the Auto Pilot design team to produce the certification plan.

 

I was also asked to give advice to several Indonesian graduates studying for a M.Sc. in computer science. To help these M.Sc. students, I created a flight simulation using Microsoft’s visual C++ version 4.2. I developed the equations of motion, Aero dynamic data base converter, and pseudo real time executive. The simulation ran on any PC and was created using C++. I also developed MS C++ software to analysis the ADS and a program to give aircraft speeds, dynamic pressures etc., for International Standard Atmosphere ( ISA ) conditions.

THALES 1986-1994 UK

Principle Systems Analyst

Whilst at TT&S I was responsible for analysing and designing simulated avionics systems for civil aircraft simulators. The work included requirement analysis, budget estimations, production schedules, software and hardware design, test and customer acceptance.

 

Most of my work centered on the simulation of the Automatic Flight Control systems and Flight Management Systems for  various aircraft types such as, Boeing 737 series, MD 80 series, Boeing 767/757 and Boeing 747-400.

 

Toward the end of my time with TT&S, I worked on the simulation of the Boeing 777 including the High lift device simulation and EEC BITE simulation.

 

I used the TT&S Real Time Software Analysis and Design method to produce the software models. This method was based upon Yorden’s method and I used the computer program Software Through Pictures ( STP ) to develop the main software requirements.

 

BAES 1984-1986   UK

Avionics Engineer

I worked at BAe at Filton on the gust load alleviation originally planed for the Airbus A320. This work required the creation of a suite of computer programs to analyze the systems performance for various malfunction cases. These software programs were then used to determine the system definition and aircraft minimum equipment list.

Marconi Space and Defence Ltd  UK

Post Production Engineer

 

After graduating from Salford. University, I worked for Marconi Space and Defence and was involved in the update of the British Royal Navy’s satellite communication system, which required a re-design of the on ship satellite receiving equipment.

 

ROLLS-ROYCE  1975-1980 UK:

 

Technical Apprentice & Draughtsman

 

 

My aviation career started in 1975 when I joined Rolls Royce as a Technical apprentice. This apprenticeship gave me a thorough grounding in engineering excellence, the hall mark of Rolls Royce. The apprenticeship allowed me to work in areas of research and development, post design work, production engineering and hands on experience of aircraft engine build and maintenance. After finishing my technical apprenticeship I worked as a draughtsman
