Abstract#R##N##R##N#This paper describes the key features of a simple program to simulate the flying characteristics of an aircraft and display in real-time the flight instruments and pilot's view of the ground on a cathode ray tube. The program was written in BCPL using only 16 bit scaled arithmetic for all the numerical calculations.
