Virtual/live hybrid behavior to mitigate range and behavior constraints

A non-transitory computer readable medium having non-transitory computer readable program code embodied therein for blending an instance of a virtual entity with an actual presentation of a live entity within an aircraft trainee presentation, the computer readable program code comprising instructions which, when executed by a computer device or processor, perform and direct the steps of:

• receiving a training scenario having a defined fixed range;
• generating the instance of the virtual entity in compliance with the training scenario;
• generating the trainee presentation, the trainee presentation including the instance of the virtual entity, the trainee presentation further including an occlusion of the actual presentation of the live entity, wherein including the instance of the virtual entity and including the occlusion of the actual presentation of the live entity are independent of the defined range;
• communicating the trainee presentation to a trainee via at least one of:
• a graphic display and a pictorial display;
• presenting emulation information to an operator of the live entity in compliance with the training scenario to enable the live entity to rendezvous or to join with the virtual entity;
• correlating a characteristic of the live entity with a characteristic of the virtual entity;
• blending, within the trainee presentation, the instance of the virtual entity with the actual presentation of the live entity based on the correlating;
• removing the virtual entity from the trainee presentation;
• and
• removing the occlusion of the actual presentation of the live entity from the trainee presentation, wherein the removing the virtual entity and the removing the occlusion occur as a result of the blending, the virtual entity being within the defined range, and as a result of the live entity being within a correlating tolerance.
