PP+ Image Formation vs Airbus A320 Systems Trainer

The Image Formation Using Lenses lab uses an optical bench to determine the focal length of a converging lens and to investigate the relationship between the object distance and the image distance. It is part of Polyhedron Physics Plus, a set of 24 iPad apps for use in the classroom. To see how they work, try the FREE PP+ Newton’s 2nd Law lab. For those who’d prefer to develop their own experiments, the PP Optical Bench & Lenses app features a similar apparatus without lab procedures and other supporting materials. In addition to a 3D simulation that produces realistic data, each lab includes introductory videos, background theory, experimental procedure, analysis and reporting tools, pre-lab quiz, post-lab questions, and teacher support materials. The experimental data produced by the simulations are realistic, including random and systematic errors. These features allow students to use standard data analysis and error analysis techniques to report on their own unique data, just as if the experiment had been performed using hands-on equipment. These labs can serve as replacements for hands-on labs, especially when equipment is not available, or as supplements to hands-on labs. They are also a suitable option for students in distance learning and home school situations. Formative and summative evaluations showed no significant difference in learning between students using the virtual labs and those using hands-on labs. Preliminary results suggest increased learning by students using the virtual labs as supplements to hands-on. Polyhedron Physics was developed by Polyhedron Learning Media, Inc. with partial funding provided under contract numbers ED-07-CO-0040 and ED-IES-11-C-0029 from the Institute of Education Sciences in the U.S. Department of Education through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.

This is an Airbus A320 series application covering in depth all the flight system displays screens including the Engine Warning Display. Each system screen has been recreated with high definition images to show every possible parameter for illustration and training purposes. Each symbol, value and schematic part of the systems is explained in full details. All information is derived from official Airbus documentation for you. The Application covers both the A320 CEO and NEO variants. Where differences exist these are clearly shown within the presented study material. Further images of all sub parts within the systems pages are represented also within the data where necessary for better explanation. The system displays covered include: EWD, Cruise, Engine, Bleed, Cabin Pressure, Electrics, Hydraulics, Fuel, APU, Air Conditioning, Doors/Oxygen, Wheels and Flight Controls. See screen shots provided for example screens. This Airbus training application is a must have for any current pilot flying the line and those training on it, including type rating cadets. Designed to access vital information fast and accurately regarding the complex systems data presented in the flight deck. The application is to be used for training purposes only. It is NOT for operational use.
