Resumen
The aim of this article is summarise the role and importance of flight simulation in civil aviation, notably its beneficial effect on the environment and its increasing impact upon training strategies. It has been prepared to provide background information to assist decision makers in government, industry, airlines and academia. Much of the training previously undertaken in aircraft is now conducted in flight simulators. Flight simulation is critical to the operation of civil and militry aircraft organizations. International standards for flight simulation training devices have been established to ensure consistency for operators, regulators and manufacturers. Flight simulation continues to make a mojor contribution to improving aviation safety. Compared with airborne training, flight simulation reduces markedly the impact on the environment. A wide range of synthetic training devices has beed developed for specific flight training tasks. For certain training tasks, effective training can be achieved with low fidelity synthetic devices. Advanced in computer technology enable flight simulation to provide very effective flight crew training. Flight simulation is used from basic training through to zero flight-time training for civil airlines and to mission rehearsal for the armed forces.
