AB  - Flight simulation has gained interest over the past 20 years for pilots training. Due to its safety, it has been efficiently used to prevent accidents before operating the real aircrafts. Every year roughly 40 plane accidents occur in the United States alone. One of the main causes for accidents in aviation are the inexperience of the pilot. Considering the dangerous conditions, such as the inconsistencies of weather at the time of training that cannot be extensively provided, which leads to the accident rate is consistent high. However, with the implementation of flight simulation training, there will be visual and physical feedback allowing the pilot to better acclimate themselves with these extreme situations. Currently, one study has shown that there is a strong correlation between the realism of the flight simulation and the knowledge of situation that the pilot retains. While the instructor and pilot skill level were a factor, it was found that the accuracy of the flight simulator was more impactful for the transfer to actual flight.  Accordingly, our study will evaluate the accuracy of pitch rotation for the 6 degrees of freedom Stewart platform and understand the effect of pitch rotation to the surge (fore and aft) horizontal movement. The precise movements are a key aspect of the flight simulator to ensure pilots in training are exposed to movements as close to real flight as possible. 
Using 12 different frequencies from 0.0159Hz to 2.515Hz provided by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the angular displacement data will be generated, and the movements will be executed on the platform. In the meanwhile, the recorded kinematic data will be collected by a motion tracking sensor (MPU-6050, TDK InverSense) and a microcontroller (Arduino nano). The data will be exported by using Arduino software. The Root Mean Square Error and the fidelity of gain values and phase values corresponding to each of frequency path trials will be calculated to assess the accuracy of movements by comparing the collected actual data and the generated ideal data in a sinusoidal wave. Once the results are validated, not only it is an advancement toward flight simulation that produces physical feedback in training situations, but this flight simulator could greatly improve the pilot operational skills without taking the risk of aircraft accidents.
