All you need to know about Flight Simulators!

Flight simulator is a virtual realistic system, which simulates the flying machine. It is a computer- generated design of the airplane cockpit and is an exact replica of the pilot view and the aircraft motion. This is mostly used to train pilots or for research or gaming. 




How do flight simulators help in training?

During an accident while in the air, the pilots feel a lot of pressure, as they need to consider the safety of people on board. Their next step of actions is critical and determines the safety and helps to avoid a tragedy. Hence, all pilots undergo intense training in a flight simulator before they become a full-time pilot. Their training lasts for long hours to understand and become aware of all possible solutions to handle situations including bad weather, engine failure, and other dangers.

Types of Simulators

There are 3 types of simulators such as Aviation Training Device, Fixed Base and Full Base Simulators. Aviation training device provides a pilot platform to learn basic skills, which helps to acquire a private pilot license. The fixed base is classified under 4 different levels ranging from Level 1 to Level 4. They do not move and are the most sophisticated device. This training is about aviation, navigation, landing, and procedures for flight management. Full base simulators are also categorized under 4 different levels ranging from A-D and possess motion system.

Retrospection of pilot training

During their tenure as full-time pilots, every year there is a retrospection of skills. Hence, simulators are used again to test pilots for their skills under varying situations. This also helps them to enhance their skills wherever lagging and become more professional. Flight simulation plays a key role and helps a great deal in career advancement for pilots.

There is an increase in the use of aircraft simulator to produce an exact environment to give the learning pilot a real flying experience. The simulators help provide basic as well as advanced training and enhancing the skills of the pilots. Some of the Different types of flight simulators are: ·          Aviation Training Device The aviation training device provides pilots with an opportunity to learn and sharpen the basic skills of flying. With the advanced aviation training device (AATD), the pilots get a platform to learn both the procedural as well as operational tasks related to flight training. ·          Full System Simulators Full flight simulators are the most advanced flight simulator. This simulator replicates every aspect of a real aircraft. With the use of visual systems, the environment of aircraft is also duplicated to give the pilots a real experience. ·          Flight Training Device Flight training device is an advanced form of flight simulator.

Manufacturing of flight simulators A process of making goods by involving components, raw materials on a large scale with operations divided among various workers in different fields is manufacturing. The goods which are produced are the manufactured product by a particular company who are the manufacturers. The goods are later given to the consumer through various means.  How flight simulators work? Flight simulators work on the basics laws of physics. Most of the games nowadays use this but simulators take this even more seriously as they want to give the players a very realistic experience of being a pilot in a wide variety of aircrafts without buying a plane or paying for flying lessons. Flying simulators involve aerodynamics and generally are a real aircraft's weight.  How flight control works?  Flight controls is around 3 axes of space. They are called as pitch. When the pilot moves his side stick, which depends on the aircraft, the hydraulic fluid

The three types of simulators include Aviation training device, Fixed Base and Full Base simulators. These levels have different grades of certification, and the names determine the level of certification and the difficulty level of the design.  Aviation Training Device There are Basic and Advanced Aviation training device (ATD) . These are a set of computers, which is a replica of the aircraft instruments, equipment panels, and controls of an open flight deck or the cockpit.The Basic ATD is a platform for procedural and operational training appropriate for pilot time and instruments. The Advanced ATD trains pilots on ground and flight tasks and procedures. The certifications are called FAA with two different modes, namely: A and B. Fixed Base Simulators Fixed Base simulators has an open cockpit including all control panels, interior linings, out shell, and flight controls equipped with visuals and sounds operated by the instructor.These simulators provide a profe
