The Instructor Operator Station (IOS) software is a Frasca developed COTS software suite. It provides the operator with control over the simulation and access to various training management tools.
Freezing/Unfreezing the Simulator
When the trainer is in the Freeze state, all flight simulation and flight parameters remain constant at the value at the time it was frozen. When the trainer is unfrozen the flight simulation will continue from were it was frozen.

Controlling Opposing ILS with Shared Frequencies
When encountering opposing ILS’s with shared frequencies, one will be on and the other will be off. Navigation stations can be enabled and disabled using the RTD IOS. When enabling the ILS that is currently turned off (disabled), be sure to turn off (disable) the opposing ILS, so that only one is on at a time.
Readiness Page
The Readiness page displays automatically when a system software or hardware component failure occurs on the RTD.

Quick Starting the Engine
Performs an automatic (software controlled) engine start. The start takes the same amount of time as a manual start, and requires that the engine controls be set to accommodate an operating engine (otherwise the engine will promptly die after starting), but no pilot input is required during the start.
