Claim 16:
17. A method of wrapping simulated intra-aircraft communication to a physical controller area network, the method comprising:
receiving, using a computing device, simulator data from an aircraft simulator;
transmitting, using at least an aircraft component, a first signal related to a non-simulated operation of the at least an aircraft component by way of at least a controller area network (CAN);
receiving, using a port communicative with the computing device, the first signal by way of the at least a CAN;
receiving, by at least a pilot control, a pilot input;
converting, using the computing device, the first signal into a first digital message;
inputting, using the computing device, the first digital message to the aircraft simulator;
transmitting a performative signal by way of the at least a CAN to the port communicative with the computing device;
receiving, using the port, the performative signal by way of the at least a CAN;
converting, using the computing device, the performative signal to a second digital message; and
inputting, using the computing device, the second digital message to the aircraft simulator.
