FDR data as a source for flying events visualisation and aircraft parameter estimation

Abstract

The hundreds of parameters that are recorded by Flight Data Recorders (FDR) during flight facilitates the investigation of incidents and also provides the opportunity to use the recorded data to predict future aircraft behaviour. Current researches are oriented in the direction of data detection responsible for a typical behavior of flight, data reconstruction and flight simulation. This paper presents a mathematical model for aircraft used in flight data interpretation, and an application that can give the graphical representation of any flight data parameter. Also, using a preprocessed data set, application produces a flash animation of the aircraft flight.
