Abstract

Enhancing Flight Data Monitoring and Analysis can Increase Flight Safety

Padmanaban S and Mahendran SME

The scope of the project is to Enhancing Flight Data Monitoring and Analysis can increase Flight Safety assists an operator to identify, quantify, assess and address operational risks. This analysis can be effectively used to support a range of airworthiness and operational safety tasks. The scope of this project is to de-code the recorded avionics parameter of interest based on the OEM’s recommendation by using the logical extraction of data from the data frame of the recorder based on ARINC standard and Air born software standard. This project involves different processes from Data down loading from the DFDR, Raw data extraction, Optimum Parameter configuration, Logical Event configuration, Logical calculation of various flight scenarios, Comparison with FCOM, Flight Health monitoring, Exceedance Analysis based on regulatory guidance, Statistical analysis of various avionics parameter’s impact on flight safety. The recommendation and solution found will be represented by various graphs and chart. Graphs of the checked parameters to show their evolution during cruise, take-off and landing phases of a same flight and an analysis of the validity of parameters based on graphs and corresponding tables, A check on the chronological structure of the complete recording, based on the aircraft flight history. It will be used for identifying and defining the risk index, and the inclusion and exclusion of the necessary maintenance programs based on the OEM.
