Methods for designing a maintenance simulation training system for certain kind of radio are introduced. Fault modeling method is used to establish the fault database. The system sets up some typical failures， follow the prompts trainers can locate the fault source and confirm the type to accomplish corresponding fault maintenance training. A training evaluation means is given to examining and evaluating the training performance. The system intuitively and vividly shows the fault maintenance process， it can not only be used in teaching， but also in daily maintenance training to efficiently improve the maintenance operation level. Graphical programming language LabVIEW is used to develop the system platform.
