Honda engineers built a non-motion simulator–the Honda Nonlinear Aerodynamics Flight Simulator–for test-pilot training and to evaluate the flight characteristics of the jet’s configuration. Tests conducted on the simulator include deep stall, spin, one-engine-out and deployment of the dynamic spin chute.

The simulator has a 180-degree by 40-degree field of view visual display and the HondaJet’s three-screen Garmin avionics suite, all run by two personal computers. An electronic control loading system provides realistic control-force feedback to pilots.
