GROUND-BASED SIMULATION TECHNIQUES

Abstract

Many methods have been used to correlate ground-based simulators with the actual aircraft they simulate. Comparisons of simulation with flight in past NAA/LAD programs are presented. They include dynamic checks, performance checks, and comparisons at the statistical level. Favorable comparisons not only validate the particular simulator involved but also give credence to the simulation process for future simulators. Good correlation between simulation and flight cannot be attributed to any one specific item. The overall handling and flying characteristics are embodied in the simulation process, but it is the attention to details which produce the distinguishing characteristics of a specific aircraft.
