METHOD OF PERFORMING TRAINING FLIGHT AND DEVICE FOR REALIZATION OF THIS METHOD Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: aeronautical engineering; performing training flights. SUBSTANCE: use may be made of real flying vehicle for simulation of training flight without real start or engines under any conditions of basing. Flight is effected through action on real controls of flying; in case there is danger of damage to separate items of on-board equipment and to change in positions of these controls, simulators fitted at locations corresponding to these controls may be used. Additionally to display of the beyond-cabin visual situation, display of panels of instrument equipment is simulated on screens. Operation of units and systems of flying vehicle is simulated by means of simulators of the respective units and systems. Loading the power control members is effected through loading device of flying vehicle by the parameters simulated by the signal processing unit. Provision is made for check of flight of one or several crews on side of the instructor. EFFECT: reduction of expenses required for training the flying personnel and maintenance of their flying skill; enhanced safety of performing training flights; saving of fuel and service life both of flying vehicle and its equipment. 4 cl, 5 dwg
