Claim 8:
9. A system for wrapping simulated intra-aircraft communication to a physical controller area network, the system comprising:
at least a pilot control configured to receive a pilot input;
a computing device configured to:
receive simulator data from an aircraft simulator;

at least an aircraft component communicative with at least a controller area network (CAN) and configured to transmit a first signal related to a non-simulated operation of the at least an aircraft component by way of the at least a CAN;
a port communicative with the computing device and configured to receive the first signal by way of the at least a CAN;
wherein the computing device is further configured to:
convert the first signal into a first digital message;
input the first digital message to the aircraft simulator; and
abstract a simulated signal from the first digital message:

wherein the port is further configured to transmit the simulated signal on the at least a CAN to the at least an aircraft component; and
wherein the at least an aircraft component is further configured to:
receive the simulated signal by way of the at least a CAN; and
control operation based on the simulated signal.
