Abstract
Three different applications of a commercially available desktop flight simulator were demonstrated in flight test training. The first case examined the visual reproduction of spins executed at National Research Council (NRC) Canada in the CT-133 aircraft. The reproduced in-cockpit views were found in agreement with video footage recorded during the spins, while the characteristics of the reconstructed spin flight path were found to be in qualitative agreement to the values resulting from the flight data analysis. The second case considered the testing of basic attitude hold control systems coupled around the simulator’s Boeing 747 flight model. The resulting time responses of the pitch and bank angles were compared to those of the aircraft’s linear state-space model and were found to predict satisfactory the stable gain cases. Finally a simulated control room environment was setup using the flight simulator and other modeling software through a local network, providing real-time plotting of flight test parameters in a number of displays. Overall, the commercial simulator software was found to be a useful low-cost aid for various parts of flight test training.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
