Methods and apparatuses for a portable cockpit seat

A method comprising:

• changing a portable cockpit seat from a stowed position to an unstowed position,
• wherein the portable cockpit seat is attached to a telescoping frame connecting the portable cockpit seat to a set of yaw pedals, the telescoping frame configured to cause a reduction in size of a collapsible section of the frame between the set of yaw pedals and the portable cockpit seat, and
• wherein changing the portable cockpit seat from the stowed position to the unstowed position includes unfolding the portable cockpit seat about a hinge and extending the collapsible section;
• inputting a lift signal from a first flight control connected to the portable cockpit seat into an aircraft simulation, wherein the lift signal is caused by actuation of the first flight control by a user;
• inputting a yaw signal, from the set of yaw pedals into the aircraft simulation;
• inputting a thrust signal from a second flight control into the aircraft simulation, wherein the thrust signal is caused by actuation of the second flight control by the user;
• and
• displaying the aircraft simulation on a headset comprising a mixed reality headset configured to display environments comprised of virtual reality components overlayed on a video feed from a camera, wherein the headset is configured to display a cockpit view of an aircraft, wherein movement of the aircraft in the aircraft simulation is a result of the aircraft simulation.
