Operational flight trainer


Operational Flight Trainer is a training device, often a flight simulator, intended for general flight training as opposed to specialist tactics and weapons training. An OFT often has a motion platform in order to enable realistic instrument flying and other procedural training. OFT is a term used particularly by the US Military. A related term is Operational Flight and Tactics Trainer, a device more capable than an OFT and designed for tactics training as well.
