The History of Computer Based Flight Training
March 6, 2010
Computerized flight simulation turned into a reality in the early 1980’s when the first personal computer devices were developed along with console games. In such an early stage, computer based pilot training was an unimaginable thing.
David Clark headsets and communication solutions were totally out of scope, but in the mind of visionaries that eventually developed the first computer-based flight training systems.
Aviation supplies and vehicle intercom systems were incorporated too simulators to provide a virtual like experience in pilot training programs.
However, if we look back, aircraft supplies and flight simulation appeared almost at the same time: the early history of real flights. In the early days, it was more convenient to teach the pilots from the earth, but feeling as if they were in airborne.
Historic records talk about an aircraft that was mounted on a universal joint to provide a flight simulation: the Sanders Teacher. Later in 1910, another simulator aircraft was built, although there is no registry of its name.
Some stores where aviation supplies are available have pieces of aviation history hanging on their walls. Some David Clark headsets also feature part of such historic background, depicting modern headset accessories and original equipment of the days in the past.
Throughout the 20th century, different aircraft supplies were developed, followed by numerous flight simulators that were invented in those days, but particularly during World War II. Pilot training occurred in both airborne and on ground, including the times when the space era arrived.
It was not until the last decade of the century when computerized pilot training acquired real importance. The 8-bit flight simulator games were transformed into combat simulators in which a player was able to choose aviation supplies to configure the aircraft, but the flight simulation was just a game.
More and more developers began to create more computer based flight simulators, until they became computer based flight training with the turn of the century. Stores were David Clark headsets were available, began to display the innovative courses for pilot training that we know today.
In a computer based flight training program, students can learn about aircraft supplies or just take the pilot training course designed for learning at affordable price, but simulating all the situations that a real airplane will face while crossing the sky.
Realistic flight simulation training also includes all the aviation supplies that any student might need in a real flight, as well as David Clark Headsets to wear during the training, so the experience resemble the real situations in the air.
