An integrated avionics test system for flight manipulation and simulation

With the recent growth of the aviation industries, an integrated avionics test environment is required to test the performance of the avionics system. In this paper, we propose an integrated avionics test system for flight manipulation and simulation using the commercial simulation and development software tools such as X-Plane, Lab View, and Google Earth. The proposed system is composed of seven parts of user flight control, flight simulation, flight manipulation and verification, data link and distribution, map display, data interface, and actuation systems. For a specific planned flight path, it is founded that the proposed system was well operated and could be used in the flight test system.
