Interact with a Trainee's active Operator Training Simulator training session

Instructors can always observe a Trainee’s active Operator Training Simulator (OTS) training session. In addition, Instructors may directly interact with a Trainee's active OTS training session if the activity supports it. If the activity supports Instructor interaction:

• In the Instructor's Training schedule page, the Trainee's connected applink is shaded white and selectable.

• In the top-left of the session's banner, an Allow interaction button is available.

Only assigned Instructors can directly interact with scheduled OTS Instructor-led sessions. In the case of free-practice OTS sessions, any Instructor who has access to that course can directly interact with it.
