Designing a modern cockpit, ergonomics, operational and technical aspects have to be considered. For a low cost schedule of development the CMU, which is a flexible, inexpensive design tool, can be used in the phase between initial theoretical specifications and flight tests. The CMU, realized in close cooperation with the user, is a full-size model cockpit of a future light transport helicopter with modern operating and display features such as a centralized control system, multi-function displays etc. Necessary simulation models will be stimulated by user inputs. The outputs of these models are information for guidance, navigation and system status. Thus the test personnel are part of the CMU closed-loop simulation. In this paper the CMU is described in respect of its tasks, construction, functions and results, which are obtained by tests with pilots and engineers.
