flight simulators
Fake aircraft trainers
Flight simulators are devices or software that replicate the experience of piloting aircraft.
Professional simulators use enclosed cockpits with realistic controls and motion systems for pilot training; consumer versions range from simple games to elaborate home setups with physical yokes and pedals.
The technology allows practice of procedures, emergency scenarios, and instrument flying without leaving the ground: He logged hundreds of hours in the flight simulator before his first real takeoff.
