Patent ID: 7891978

Claim:
A computer program product for training simulation, comprising: a computer readable, tangible storage device; first program instructions for generating a simulated aircraft in flight performing a search and rescue function, wherein said simulated aircraft in flight performing said search and rescue function is displayed on a computer monitor, and wherein said simulated aircraft in flight comprises a vehicular control panel; second program instructions for generating a simulated environment, wherein said simulated environment is displayed on said computer monitor; third program instructions for generating a simulated receiver apparatus within the vehicular control panel, wherein said simulated receiver apparatus is displayed on said computer monitor, wherein said simulated receiver apparatus comprises a simulated aircraft direction finding (DF) apparatus; and fourth program instructions for generating a simulated transmitter apparatus within the simulated environment, wherein said simulated transmitter apparatus is displayed on said computer monitor, wherein said simulated transmitter apparatus is programmed to generate and transmit a simulated signal, wherein said simulated receiver apparatus is programmed to receive said simulated signal, wherein said simulated transmitter apparatus comprises a simulated emergency locator transmitter (ELT), and wherein said simulated aircraft in flight is programmed to be maneuvered to place said simulated aircraft in flight between said simulated signal and said DF apparatus to block said simulated signal from said DF apparatus to enable said user to locate said simulated transmitter apparatus in said simulated environment, wherein the first program instructions, the second program instructions, the third program instructions, and the fourth program instructions are stored on the computer readable, tangible storage device for execution by a central processing unit of a computer.
