Multi-station voice loops under synthetic latency

Teams rehearse closed-loop comms when the trainer deliberately degrades voice timing.

Closed-loop confirmations break down when latency exceeds a threshold that varies by crew culture and language. We expose that threshold in exercises rather than hiding behind perfect push-to-talk timing.

Instructors can stage latency ramps across a scenario so crews discover when they begin talking over one another. Replay highlights overlaps without singling out junior voices in the room.

The limitation is clear: we model transport latency, not acoustic noise from an actual engine room.
