Modern flight test programs generate huge amounts of data that require interrogation to investigate phenomena and ascertain program status as well as for use in final reporting.

What parametric data regulatory bodies require flight data recorders (FDR) to store, how data is processed for FDRs, and what features FDRs need to meet future needs.

Aircraft operators are constantly looking for ways to reduce the size and weight of onboard avionics units. For many operators, a flight recorder (FR) is essential to meet regulatory requirements.

One issue that fleet owners face for their older aircraft is the obsolescence of avionics systems. This paper presents different strategies for addressing this growing problem, including replacing obsolete line replaceable units (LRUs) using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products.

This white paper looks at the motivations behind introducing requirements for some form of flight recorders, what options are available and discusses what may be the best choice.

This white paper discusses the problem of inefficient maintenance, lack of access to the right data, and how aircraft can be retrofitted with instrumentation to more quickly identify impending failures, rapidly repair them, and minimize aircraft downtime.

Operators of aircraft may find they need to upgrade existing FDRs for a variety of reasons.

This white paper discusses the details of the requirements for an FDR, how they can be built and how Wi-Fi-enabled aircraft can be used to stream FDR data.

Read how a Permanent Test Instrumentation Equipment (PTIE) can be installed onto an aircraft at production, or rapidly post-production as the need arises, to gather data in a minimally intrusive manner.

Read this white paper to learn more about high-speed cameras and how they can provide users with the ability to conduct in-depth, quantitative analysis of their high-speed images.

This white paper details the requirements for an FDR, how they are built, and what options third parties have for streamlining their own FDR developments.

This white paper discusses different strategies for gathering data for flight data recorders and the implications these have on deployment time, system flexibility, and suitability for deployment across a fleet of diverse aircraft.
