Abstract
A system and method for an electric aircraft coaching simulator is illustrated. The simulator includes a pilot control that is configured to generate a pilot command. The simulator includes a processor that is configured to receive optimized flight data, simulate a battery performance of an electric aircraft as a function of the received pilot command and generate an optimal flight recommendation based off the optimized flight data. The simulation model is configured to communicatively connect with the flight simulator to mimic a real flight situation. Optimized flight data from other pilots can be used to coach pilots how to fly with more energy efficiency.

A system for an electric aircraft coaching simulator, wherein the system comprises:
- a pilot control configured to generate a pilot command as function of a user interaction with the pilot control;
- a computing device;
- at least a processor;
- and
- a memory communicatively connected to the at least a processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the at least a processor to:
