There are further extensions planned for the failures feature, incl. more systems and trigger-based failures. This page will therefore change alongside the implementation of the failure system.

At any moment, this generator may trigger a set of failures among the selected failure pool by using the probability specified through the average number of failure per hour.

The mean time to failure (MTTF) is provided as an indication of the delay it may take in average to trigger one failure for the probability of failure per hour.

For simulation purposes, it is advised to set this value at a much higher level up to 10e-1 (0.1 failure / hour or 1 failure every 10 hours) in order to experience failures once every simulator session.

If a failure will occur during the next take off, it may happen at any moment, during one of these three take off phases:

- The take off phase when the plane exceeds the low-med transition speed and is slower than the med-high transition speed.
