Day 36 - October 7th

This morning we continued testing of the OTM and then in the afternoon CAE tuned the motion buffet functions. We thought it was a little to high in certain conditions and a little too low in others. Since the buffeting effect is mostly subjective, CAE made adjustments while our guys sat in the cockpit to feel and evaluate the buffeting effect.

We couldn't get the simulator UL approved until we found a way to keep the motion cables under the sim from being walked on. We decided to install an unused maintenance platform from another simulator over the cables, then we could use just a small amount of raceway to protect the portions of the cables not under the work platform. Since this sim is 2 feet higher than any of our other sims the platform will be handy to reach the maintenance doors on the bottom of the motion base.
