  The RAF Cranwell WSOp(Cmn)FW software is designed to assist students at the RAF Cranwell training college
  in the practices of pre-flight checks on large outbound aircraft. Students get to experience aircraft including;
  C130 Hercules, and the C17 Globemaster.
 
  .
 
  The simulation software is designed to give the student a detailed guided tour of the selected aircraft, during
  the inspection the software pauses at key areas (listed below) where the student must identify the required
  procedure before being allowed to continue.

  After students have completed the simulation they are then expected to carry out what they have learnt from
  the simulation on a full size scale replica fuselage including the interior.
