ALGORITHM AND SOFTWARE FOR READOUT OF RECORDING FROM AN AIRCRAFT’S FLIGHT DATA RECORDER

Ivan Monov, Ivailo Dimov

Abstract

The article presents the created algorithm and its implementation in the developed software for readout of flight data parameters stored in binary file, downloaded from the airplane’s flight data recorder (so called “black box”).The basic concept and the structure of the algorithm are given with explanation and figures. The functionality of the developed software is described with some arguments and example screenshots.The necessity of readout and analysis of the flight data parameters either by the aviation authorities in case of an accident, or by the airline carriers, for their flight data monitoring program was outlined. The estimated useful effects consists of improving and keeping high the aviation flight safety level and lower the aircraft maintenance costs.
