Acquisition of Digital Flight Test Data from Avionics Buses: Techniques for Practical Flight Test Applications

Instructor(s)

Description

Designed for practicing engineers who use bus data in flight test work. Presented from a user’s point of view, the course shows how to recognize and accommodate problems associated with using avionics information as traditional flight test data. The course addresses recording and retrieving these data properly on standard PCM instrumentation.

Target Audience

Designed for flight test and analysis engineers. Course material and presentation is oriented toward the data user and not to experienced system design engineers.

Class Time

Class time: 21 hours
