Combined simulation and flight testing enable the study of single- and multi-aircraft performance of onboard automation systems for dynamic flight path management (FPM). The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is investigating system performance and functional capabilities of such automation for immersion into complex, high density, future operations such as Urban Air Mobility (UAM). This paper provides an overview of a series of interdependent sim-to-flight research activities involving large-scale batch simulations, human-in-the-loop verification, and flight-test validation of a research prototype FPM automation system. Together, they significantly contributed to a functional assessment of FPM automation functionality in a live-virtual-constructive (LVC) operating environment characterized by two live aircraft and hundreds of virtual aircraft interacting in a modeled complex urban airspace. Initial simulation and flight test results, future work, and conclusions are presented.
