Planning of Flight Simulator Data Package Flight Test for Civil Aircraft

Abstract

Flight simulator for civil aircraft can be used for pilot training. The flight test data for modelling, verification, validation, and qualification of flight simulator can be obtained through flight simulator data package flight test. In order to improve the efficiency of flight test and save the resources of flight test, the planning of flight simulator data package flight test was studied. Four principles of flight test planning were proposed, considering the requirements of flight simulator development progress, flight test planning of aircraft, aircraft configuration plan, requirements of flight simulator data package flight test and aircraft flight test. The principles included the principle of flight test method similarity, the principle of progress priority, the principle of pre-test meeting and the principle of considering configuration requirements. The principles of flight test planning given in this paper have been applied in the actual planning of flight simulator data package flight test for a certain aircraft, and the efficiency of flight test has been improved.
