Abstract
A flight simulation system and method with electronic coupling of controls include a physical simulation environment providing flight simulation to a trainee. At least one physical control element is in the physical simulation environment. An instructor environment is located remote from the physical simulation environment. At least one instructor control element is in the instructor environment. The at least one physical control element and the at least one instructor control element are electronically and non-mechanically coupled together.
Claims20
A flight simulation system with electronic coupled controls comprising:
- a physical simulation environment providing flight simulation to a trainee;
- at least one physical control element in the physical simulation environment;
- an instructor environment located remote from the physical simulation environment;
- and
- at least one instructor control element in the instructor environment, wherein the physical control element and the instructor control element are electronically and non-mechanically coupled together.
A flight simulation system with electronic coupled controls comprising:
- at least two separate physical simulation environments, each providing flight simulation to a trainee;
- at least one physical control element in each of the at least two separate physical simulation environments;
- an instructor environment located remote from the at least two separate physical simulation environments;
- and
- at least one instructor control element in the instructor environment, wherein the physical control element for each of the at least two separate physical simulation environments and the instructor control element are electronically and non-mechanically coupled together.
A method for providing a flight simulation with electronic coupled controls, the method comprising:
- providing a flight simulation to a trainee positioned in a physical simulation environment, wherein at least one physical control element is within the physical simulation environment;
- and
- manipulating, by an instructor, at least one instructor control element within an instructor environment located remote from the physical simulation environment, wherein the physical control element and the instructor control element are electronically and non-mechanically coupled together.
