Abstract

In commercial, military and general aviation, safe and effective training is the important requirement, which is achieved through an Aircraft Part Task Training device (APTT). When compared with the live training, the most significant benefits of ground training is improved safety and the reduced cost of a pilot training process. Flight simulation is a multidisciplinary subject that relies on several research disciplines which have a tendency to be investigated separately and in parallel with each other. This manuscript presents a comprehensive overview of the research work done within the APTT. The development of interactive framework for Aviation part task trainer is discussed in detail. The interactive graphics display is interfaced with different pilot controls such as throttle, pedal and control stick . The acquired data is processed and displayed on multifunctional display, giving the feel of flying in the aircraft. Thus the pilot can be trained on ground reducing the risk.


Graphic symbols are prepared using OpenGL software. LAN connection is established using socket program in C and MATLAB aerospace toolbox is used for taking the input through joystick.
