simulator
A device used for training or research that duplicates a piece of complex equipment. Flight simulators duplicate the cockpit of an airplane. All of the controls and instruments are connected to a computer that gives the operator the feel and the indications that would exist under actual flight conditions in a real aircraft.
Emergency and unusual conditions can be simulated and practiced in the simulator far more safely and economically than can be done in the real aircraft.
