Development of a Flight Instrument Package
Abstract
Subcontractor (Southwest Research Institute) describes the hardware and software comprising the Flight Instrument Package (FIP), a collection of transducers and electronic components that measure primary flight motion and position parameters and generate digital data representing those parameters. Pitch angle, bank angle, altitude, vertical velocity, airspeed, heading, and angle of attack are the main quantities digitized and relayed to a data port for processing into various displays of aircraft state. The FIP developed as part of this task was used in a Beech Queen Air aircraft to drive the Acoustic Orientation Instrument, which provides the pilot with an auditory display of aircraft bank, airspeed, vertical velocity, and other parameters as necessary... .
