As such, the motion control panel 502 is used to control an emergency situation of the simulator and is used to immediately stop the operation of the simulator motion device. Accordingly, when a value is input from the motion control panel 502, the second control module 630 controls the immediate operation of the simulator by giving the command priority over any command of other modules.

The output module 640 outputs a simulation image to each monitor 210 to 250. Simulation images include images of the pilot's viewing and control targets (maps, aircraft, instruments, weather information, runway surface conditions, fuel levels, etc.). For example, the output module 640 displays the aircraft in the first display area and displays information about the terrain in which the aircraft is located in the second display area. In addition, the output module 640 displays the first image display area and the second image display area so as to correspond to the image displayed on the monitor of the pilot so that the instructor can observe the same image that the pilot watches. The output module 640 also displays information about the instruments of the aircraft in the instrument display area.
