The initial conditions are realistic, in that some equipment and/or instrumentation may be out of service, but it does not cue the operators into expected events.
The scenarios consist mostly of related events.
Each event description consisk of the point in the scenario when it is to be initiated the malfunction(s) that are entered to initiate the event the symptoms/wes that will be visible to the crew the expected operator actions (by shift position) the event termination ooint (if aoolicabiel 4
