Abstract: A flight training system provides training for aircraft pilots. In some examples, the system includes one or more computers and one or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to provide the flight training. In operation, the computers execute a pedagogical trainer for presenting a structured sequence of training tasks to a trainee, a simulation trainer for providing free-play capacity in a computer simulated aircraft environment to the trainee, and an integration kernel is provided for transitioning the trainee between the pedagogical trainer and the simulation trainer.
