An Air Crewman instructor operates the AVRS from an instructor station outside the mockup, controlling the aircraft through a modified version of the VBS Observer system.

An entirely new helicopter flight physics model has been integrated into VBS, including artificially intelligent pilots that fly in a highly realistic manner.

The instructor has precise control over the helicopter, and is
provided with a range of maneuvers to present a range
of challenging situations to the trainees.

A number of additional monitors replicate the view provided
to the Air Crewmen – at all times the instructor can see
precisely what the trainees are observing and where
in the aircraft they are located.
