Simulation of Electronic Flight Instrument System of Boeing 787 aircraft

Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) known as glass cockpit is a key component of any modern aircraft. It visualises practically all cockpit instruments and serves as replacement for obsolete solution where most instruments were electromechanical. Flight crews must gain perfect knowledge of cockpit systems of each aircraft type in order to control it safely. For most aircraft types the available simulators are expensive, therefore difficult to access for most people. This paper describes realisation of a semiprofessional simulator of Boeing 787 EFIS. Aim of the presented solution is to serve as simulator for demanding amateur users, for testing newly developed aircraft systems in the context of their future use and, in case of successful certification, also as a training device for flight crews. In this paper we present description of individual parts of the EFIS and discussion of currently available simulators for professional and amateur use. Furthermore, individual aspects of our solution are described in detail. Besides standard functions of EFIS it supports simulation of other aircraft systems, e.g. individual panels in the cockpit allowing interaction with the flight management system (FMS). Using a generic interface it allows integration with various systems for simulation of the external environment and physical model of the aircraft. Presented solution has been verified by functional testing and by specific usability tests with both professional and amateur users.
