Abstract:

This report provides details of methods used for modifying a flight simulator at the Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center to represent any particular aircraft. Methods are discussed for determining the coefficients and derivatives that define the flight characteristics of an aircraft, using readily available published data. The report includes discussion of the equations of motion, methods for computing aerodynamic derivatives, moment of inertia computations, engine power and thrust computations, control force loading, principles of the phugoid oscillation, and autopilot installation and modes of operation.
