Abstract

A flight simulation programme has been developed on a personal computer using MicrosoftFORTRAN to simulate flight trajectories of a light aircraft by using Six-Degree-of-Freedomequation of motion. The simulation has been made realistic through pre-programmed the input tothe control surfaces, atmospheric gust during the flight mode. The programme plays an importantrole in the evaluation and validation of the aircraft design process. A light aircraft (Cessna 182T)has been tested through free flight, gliding flight, flight with gust. The results show good trend andshow that the programme could be dependent as a realistic flight test programme.
