There is provided a method and apparatus for simulating a flight scenario during a live flight of an aircraft. The method comprises:
(i) generating (60) images comprising scenes relevant to the simulated flight scenario at a simulated altitude;
(ii) calculating, using live flight data received for the aircraft and with reference to a predetermined flight model (65), simulated flight data for the simulated flight scenario at the simulated altitude; and
(iii) displaying, on a display system (35) of the aircraft, the calculated simulated flight data while controlling the display of said generated scene images to simulate movement of the aircraft through the displayed scene at a rate and in a direction corresponding to the displayed simulated flight data.
The method and apparatus may optionally alter the response of the aircraft to control actions (70) by a pilot to simulate the response expected of the aircraft having the simulated flight characteristics.
