Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure provides generating, using a flight simulator, graphic user interfaces (GUIs) simulating a cockpit of an aircraft; receiving, using the flight simulator, user input that affects an operation of the aircraft; receiving events from the flight simulator that affect the operation of the aircraft; translating the events into inputs for a plane simulator comprising a model of the aircraft; receiving outputs from the plane simulator generated in response to the inputs; and determining whether, based on at least one of the events and the outputs from the plane simulator, a step in a training lesson was performed correctly.
