A control system may generate a first simulated value for an aircraft sensor by applying one or more first input parameters to a sensor map model via a processor. The control system may compare the first simulated value and the first output of the aircraft sensor to determine a first calibration value and save calibration data in a memory based on the first calibration value. The control system may generate a calibrated simulation value of the aircraft sensor based on the sensor map model and the calibration data. The control system may determine validity of a second output of the aircraft sensor, utilize the second output of the aircraft sensor to perform an operation of the aircraft when the second output of the aircraft sensor is valid, and utilize the calibrated simulation value to perform the operation of the aircraft when the second output of the aircraft sensor is invalid.
