Full Flight Flight Simulators - an achievement for every pilot

The rhythm of the ground grooves as you taxi along the runways, the acceleration just before takeoff, or the slight tilt as you make a turn: anyone who trains in a full-flight flight simulator immediately senses what makes it different from all other types of flight simulators, because only these have a special motion system that translates every single flight maneuver into authentic motion. High-tech vision and sound systems also create
different times of day, weather conditions and an atmosphere that corresponds to reality down to the smallest detail. So you can notice raindrops on the cockpit windows or even hear the squeal of tires on landing.

The Motion System

Pilots sense the movements of the aircraft in particular very precisely. For the faithful reproduction of a flight with deceptively real sensory perceptions, both accelerations and g-forces must be simulated. For this purpose, an original To overcome the natural limitations of this technique, which are imposed by the length of the stilts, further simulation tricks are used. For example, to simulate takeoff, the cockpit is tilted backward, creating a perfect illusion in people's balance systems: Simulator crews have the sensation of rapid acceleration at that moment! During braking, the process is exactly the opposite. The cockpit tilts forward, this motion stimulus is interpreted by the human body - in combination with the images now provided by the visual system - as a braking process and landing approach. The perceived movement matches the "view out of the window" at every second.

The Visual System

Spatial orientation plays a crucial role in flight safety. The cockpit crew must know at all times where obstacles, mountains or hilly terrain are located in the airport environment - regardless of visibility conditions. To this end, the visual system provides a more than 180-degree satellite-quality view of all important objects at the airport in question. This allows pilots in the flight simulator to accurately practice the approach procedures of the airport in question. A good example of this is the old airport in Hong Kong, for which special certification was required. The corresponding special training was carried out in Full Flight Flight Simulator.
