The present study shows the development of computational algorithms to represent aircraft instruments such as the attitude indicator or the turn-and-slip indicator; moreover, the algorithms represent a magnetic compass and other instruments that function according to other physical theories. These instruments work by using the gyroscope and magnetic principles and help the pilot in navigation. These are considered to be the basic instruments required to provide location-related and positional information about the actual aircraft attitude. The algorithms developed in this study are capable of working in concordance with other instruments and the physical conditions established. The programming language used was C++ and the algorithms were compiled in independent files and subroutines for computational efficiency, eliminating unnecessary code. The display options were successfully tested. Additionally, an analysis that evaluated the error and approached flight simulation as a function of step time (Δt) is also described.
