A hypoxia recovery system capable of supplying breathing air with approximately 20% oxygen to a subject inside a mask off hypoxia training room without the use of a real world MD-1 aviator oxygen regulator, yet have the experience and realism of a real world MD-1 aviator oxygen regulator. The invention also teaches a method of hypoxia flight training, using said hypoxia recovery system.

A vibration system for a simulator cockpit which includes at least one pilot seat. The vibration system comprises a vibration module for the pilot seat, the seat vibration module being composed of a platform having a top face to which the pilot seat is fixed and a bottom face to which a motor drive system is coupled. The motor drive system comprises independent mechanical means allowing the platform to be made to vibrate on three orthogonal axes, and is coupled to a control module configured to independently actuate each mechanical means and vary, in real time, the amplitude of the vibratory movements of the platform on each orthogonal axis.
