Abstract

A computer graphics simulation of an Electronic Flight Instrumentation System was designed using an IBM® PC-XT. The software control and display modules were accomplished using Borland corporation's Turbo Pascal®. The Electronic Flight Instrumentation System consists of an artificial horizon, Horizontal situation indicator and flight checklists. The system was designed to allow evaluation and modification of the representation of different aircraft cockpits. These will be adapted for use in the flight simulator testbed at the College of Engineering at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida.
