Simulation tools offer many advantages to their users, such as avoiding large costs before the production and/or management of a real system, performing R&D work with rapid prototyping, and providing unlimited testing in different scenarios. In this study, a flight from Istanbul to Cairo was planned within the scope of flight mechanics using the MATLAB/Simulink simulation environment. Before the calculations of the flight plan, Euler's differential equation solver method (ode1) and its use in the simulation tool are mentioned. Then, by talking about the variables of the aircraft (horizontal position on the X and Y axes, altitude, true airspeed, head angle, mass of the aircraft), control signals (engine thrust, yaw angle, flight path angle), air traffic rules and the route of a real aircraft, the simulation tool will be used. Scope is revealed. After specifying the scope of the study, the flight route and movement changes such as takeoff, climb, cruise flight, turn, and landing on this route are indicated by using the aircraft performance operational data of a real Boeing 737-700 aircraft from Istanbul Airport (IST) to Cairo Airport (CAI). During the simulation phase of the entire flight, the variables, 3D route, horizontal velocity, fuel consumption, change of the aircraft's route etc. data such as visualization and interpretation. In the last part, together with the results obtained, the benefits of simulation tools in flight mechanics are mentioned.
