Systems and methods for context-based cockpit simulation

A system comprising:

• a communication device, a display, an input/output interface, a processing device, and a memory, storing one or more instructions that when processed by the processing device, cause the system to:
• display a cockpit clone on the display, wherein the cockpit clone is configured to change settings of an avionics engine and is a visual representation of an actual cockpit of an aircraft, wherein a selection of the cockpit clone displayed on the device is based on one or more of a user input and a classification of an aircraft on which the system is used;
• receive an input to a setting of the avionics engine via the input/output interface to change the setting of the avionics engine;
• connect to a flight management system (FMS) using the communication device;
• and
• upload the changed setting of the avionics engine to the FMS to change an actual aircraft setting of an actual aircraft based on the setting of the avionics engine.

A method comprising:

• receiving electronic flight book (EFB) selection information for selecting one EFB GUI from a plurality of selectable EFB GUIs that provide an interface for entry and display of flight information and are stored in a memory, wherein each of the plurality of selectable EFB GUIs is a clone display of an actual cockpit of one aircraft of a plurality of aircraft that displays information on the clone display in a format and layout consistent with a presentation in the actual cockpit;
• selecting one EFB GUI from the plurality of selectable EFB GUIs based on the received EFB selection information;
• displaying the selected EFB GUI on the display;
• receiving one or more flight parameters from a flight management system (FMS);
• displaying one or more of the one or more flight parameters on the displayed EFB GUI;
• receiving one or more changes to the one or more flight parameters via an input/output interface;
• and
• updating one or more of the one or more flight parameters in the FMS based on the received one or more changes.
