“…An automatic flight control system (AFCS) automatically controls the aircraft with high precision during surveillance, reconnaissance, and measurement flights. To test AFCS created for the utility aircraft STEMME S15, a high-performance motor glider, a ground test facility in the form of a HIL simulator was built and validated (Kaden et al, 2013). The role of pilot training in assessing performance in identifying and managing hazards, especially in the air and under changing conditions through an automated collaborative system for aviation safety, was explained in (Lofaro and Smith, 2012).…”

This paper describes the several steps to build an elaborate flight simulator cockpit, where the hardware is designed based on Mechatronic principles and the proposed software was developed using agile methodologies to create a Cyber-Physical System (CPS). Furthermore, this research attempts to simulate the real environment from an aircraft as close as possible with a real scale developed cockpit. Based on this, the presented paper contributions include: (1) The implementation of a complex dynamic system such as a CPS, where the Mechatronic system is part of it; (2) The deployment of a scale model of an Airbus A32x aircraft (one of the most used), integrating into a mathematical model adapted to the operation of an aircraft flight simulation system, regarding the physical forces involved. This project is also used to captivate the students' motivation to the areas of technology such as electronics and programming and permits its development as a student project and thesis. Results allow validating the proposed cockpit.
