The APST was designed for Propulsion System Simulation for Maintenance Training and is a full size facsimile aircraft that combines aircraft systems
from the Tornado and Euro-fighter Typhoon and provides a fully simulated cockpit environment for full engine run procedures.
Its capabilities for practical training include engine component adjustment and simulated test set facilities. The APST is used continuously in all as-
pects of aircraft maintenance training procedures and has instructor workstation facilities, session monitoring and fault induction.
The simulator can be used to train scenarios such as engine surge which cannot be safely trained on an aircraft.
