A flight emulation system receives global positioning system (GPS) data into one or more EGIs (embedded GPS/inertial navigation system (INS)) or GPS receivers from a GPS emulator. The GPS data are based on a pre-defined flight trajectory plan of an aircraft. The system calculates real-time positional, orientational, and inertial emulation data using outputs of the EGIs or GPS receivers and platform-specific, flight dynamics data, and then transmits the real-time positional, orientational, and inertial emulation data to one or more subsystems associated with the aircraft for use by operations of the one or more subsystems.
