Where a body includes one or more inertial motion sensors, such as gyroscopes or accelerometers, the body's response to inertial motion may be simulated by actually imparting inertial motion to the sensors, and interpreting signals received from such sensors in response to the inertial motion. Gyroscopes or accelerometers of an aerial vehicle may be physically removed therefrom and remain in communication with an inertial navigation system, and rotated by one or more motors or motorized components to simulate angular velocities on the gyroscopes or accelerations on the accelerometers. Signals received by the inertial navigation system from the gyroscopes or the accelerometers may be evaluated to confirm the operability of the gyroscopes and accelerometers, the responsiveness of the inertial navigation system to sensed inertial motion or events associated with such inertial motion, or any other aspect of the aerial vehicle.
