Abstract
The implementation of the aviation tasks, including the preparatory ones, is a difficult, complex task requiring from the aviation personnel a high level of general, technical, and specialist knowledge and a wide range of skills, appropriate to the type of technical tools and systems being at the disposal of the aviation personnel as well as the complexity and difficulty of their tasks. Particular importance is currently attached to the development of training devices used in the basic training and in-service training of the aviation personnel. The authors have referred to the role of simulators in achieving the desired level of specialist competence by flight personnel, including, among others, such issues as aircraft simulators development, and their application in the aviation training; aircraft simulators classification in accordance with current aviation regulations; essential functions performed by aviation simulators; flight simulator is an essential tool for basic and in-service training of the aviation personnel.

Useful Organizational Knowledge via Knowledge Elicitation and Management
A flight simulator (FS) is a system designed to “imitate” the functions of another system (an airplane) in a real operational environment; to be a realistic substitute that responds realistically to flight crew inputs. A FS is a training device whose primary functions are 1.To present information like that which the real system would present, for the purpose of training and, 2. To provide a practice environment that facilitates and enhances the skills and knowledge of the pilot, and thus provides learning which enhances performance in the real system, the airplane.There are several types of flight simulators.
