| A pilot approaches an airport in a flight simulator, manipulating all the controls of a real airliner. The simulator is run by computers providing motion, vision, and sound cues. The apparatus responds as a real aircraft would, allowing pilots to experience lifelike flight situations without the danger or cost of real flights. | ||||||
