Currently, flight simulators are being developed to train pilots in the professional piloting of an aircraft in “special cases of flight”. This is due to the need to teach the pilot the professional skills of piloting an aircraft in situations that are dangerous to reproduce in real flight. An aviation simulator is a combination of several imitators that simulate information about the behavior of all units of the aircraft and information about the interaction of the airframe of the aircraft with the atmosphere, depending on the control actions transmitted by the pilot through the simulators of the flight simulator controls. It is believed that the quality of information models synthesized by simulators is determined by the capabilities of modern software and hardware elements, or used mechanical units. It is impossible to create a complete model of any node; therefore, each imitator synthesizes, in addition to true information, additional false information. It is impossible to exclude false information. Therefore, when developing aviation simulators, a number of training situations are determined. The article discusses the features of assessing the degree of participation of information from two groups imitators in the formation of the components of a cognitive model that allows a pilot to fly an aircraft.
