Flight simulators allow to perform learning maneuvers that in an actual aircraft could not be, since they can be analyzed from human faults to those of the aircraft. This article shows the development of a state of the art for the project entitled “Development and construction of a flight trainer of the Cessna T-41 aircraft for the Marco Fidel Suárez Military Aviation School”, funded by the “Call for support to CTeI projects for formative research of the Public Force “, developed by the Ministry of National Defense. For the development of the article, a documentary review was carried out containing the classification, history, architecture, characteristics, advantages and applications of flight simulators or flight training devices. As a result, to highlight, it was obtained that the initially proposed project was the development of a trainer, but it was possible to develop a type A simulator with a system of movement with three degrees of freedom. It is concluded that the information provided by this article supports the basic concepts to produce a flight simulator, giving the capacity to Colombian Air Force in the development of this type of technology. A flight simulator, giving the Colombian Air Force the ability to develop this type of technology.
