A combination of electronic and mechanical integrated elements which operate together are used to produce realistic environmental conditions that would actually be encountered by a pilot flying an aircraft. The electronic elements of the system include a real time digital computer, a calligraphic color display which simulates landing lights of selective intensity, and a color television camera for producing a moving color display of the airport runway as depicted on a model terrain board. The mechanical simulation elements of the system include an environmental chamber which can produce natural fog, nonhomogeneous fog, rain and fog combined, or rain only. A pilot looking through the aircraft windscreen will look through the fog and/or rain generated in the environmental chamber on to a viewing screen with the simulated color image of the airport runway, and observe a very real simulation of actual conditions of a runway as it would appear through actual fog and/or rain.
