Inflight Evaluation of an Acoustic Orientation Instrument

Abstract

Subcontractor (Southwest Research Institute) provides engineering data and system software description for the Acoustic Orientation Instrument (AOI), which they developed for inflight testing. The overall scheme of operation of the system involves inputting a frame of scaled flight data (airspeed, bank angle, vertical velocity, etc.) from the Flight Instrument Package (FIP) over an RS232 serial link to the AOI, conversion of the flight data to corresponding output voltage waveforms by the AOI, and delivery of those outputs to stereo headphones to generate an auditory display of the flight parameters of interest. This report constitutes an operation and maintenance manual for the AOI, including system programming in the FORTH computer language.
