Flight Simulator Parts | Aircraft Spare Parts

A flight simulator is a cockpit replica that is modeled after a specific aircraft and its relevant systems;  most flight simulators will feature replicated manufacture grade hardware or are equipped with real spare parts from the aircraft series. The duplicate control room is mounted on a hydraulic system or electronically operated platform, allowing the simulator to replicate potential movement of the cockpit based on acceleration and G-force that would be encountered on a flight. Sound design is also incorporated to factor in acoustic elements associated with pressurization cycles, weather, and the sound of aircraft mechanisms.

Most flight simulators will have the capacity to replicate airspeed controls, landing nuances, RPM controls, altitude level monitors, sensor malfunctions, adverse weather conditions, navigation systems, and more. There are 3 types of flight simulators commonly used today include: Aviation Training Devices (ATD), Flight Training Devices (FTD), and Full Flight Simulators (FFS).
