Command Instrument Processor (CIP) Test Report

Abstract

This report describes results of the ground and flight tests conducted on the Command Instrument Processor (CIP), CP-2036/A, version 14631-7. The CIP is the digital, GPS capable, flight director developed for the Black Hawk helicopter. This flight director is a form fit replacement for the non-GPS Command Instrument System Processor (CISP). The upgrade from the 14631-5 to the 14631-7 configuration was implemented to correct six deficiencies that were identified during data collection at Fort Rucker, AL. The 'fixes' required two hardware changes and four software modifications. The specific tests that were performed to verify each deficiency are described in the AVRADA Test Plan (Appendix B). An unexpected anomaly (not a deficiency) was detected during this test program while performing an unusual flight maneuver, and is described in this report in order to preclude its subsequent discovery as another problem with the CIP.
