Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) simulation is the training given to pilots to control an unmanned aircraft from control station.UAV flight simulation extends a virtual environment and replicates an exact realtime activity coupled with external factors such as turbulence, cloud, air density, and wind shear. Under such conditions, the pilot is trained to govern the flight of an UAV and operate the flight using flight controls.
