Comparative Evaluation of Redundant Flight Data Recorded by a Digital Airborne Integrated Data System Recorder (DAR) on Board an Airbus A-310 Aircraft

摘要

Flight data collected during scheduled Airbus A-310 flights by a Digital AIDS Recorder (DAR) were analyzed. The characteristics of the standard A-310 AIDS are compared to those of the A-300 AIDS. The A-310 reconstruction of the motion state of the aircraft is more complete than with the older equipment. The DAR A-310 permits a detailed and extensive check of the basic AIDS measuring channels through independently measured quantities. This check, however, is restricted to the measuring ranges encountered in normal flight conditions. It cannot be extrapolated to extreme flight conditions expected in accidents or incidents. In the flight conditions of the scheduled flights, the correspondence between basic AIDS measurements and quantities from the extended AIDS is very good.
