    Background and Significance Simulation was initially used by the airlines and military personnel for training purposes. The first ground-based flight simulator, named the Link trainer, was invented in 1929 by Ed Link (Nickerson & Pollard, 2010). Edwin Albert Link can be said to be the pioneer of simulation implementation. He is most remembered for inventing the flight simulator, which was then commercialized in 1929 and called the "Blue Box" or "Link Trainer". Using simulators for training maximizes a

    IS HIGH FIDELITY FLIGHT SIMULATION NECESSARY FOR AIRLINE PILOT TRAINING? Abstract One of the difficulties when objectivity looking into defining the levels of fidelity required in training simulations is that simulators are frequently seen as replacements for training that previously would have been conducted on the real equipment. The perception therefore is that the simulation should be as close as possible to the “real deal” in order to successfully replace it. However, the genuine advantage

    UTM will add the benefits of beyond the visual line of sight operations (BVLOS) to unmanned aerospace systems. The added applications of beyond the visual line of sight operations are search and rescue operations, package deliveries, border patrol inspections, and environmental research (Karpowicz, 2016). The creators of Skylight believe the new UTM system will revolutionize UAS operations and drastically increase UAS applications (Karpowicz, 2016). Figure 5. “NASA’s concept for a possible UTM

    the aircraft is in flight under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) or Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). In the latter case, the pilot will navigate exclusively using radio navigation instruments and aids such as beacons, or as directed under radar control by air traffic control. In the case of VFR, a pilot navigates heavily using "dead calculations" combined with visual (pilot) observations, referring to appropriate maps. This can be supplemented using radio navigation aids. Given the flight plan and the position
