| dc.description.abstract | A flight recorder, commonly referred to as a
black box, is regarded as the most crucial source of
information in the investigation of air accidents. Since the
1950s, flight recorders have been recognized as essential
components of onboard equipment for both military and
civilian aircraft worldwide. These devices are invaluable
not only for analysing flights after unexpected incidents but
also for pilot training, evaluating pilot skills, diagnosing
onboard systems, and assessing the performance of aircraft
systems. Consequently, flight recorders play a significant
role in ensuring high aircraft reliability and aviation safety.
This research project introduces a digitalized Flight Data
Recorder (FDR) system designed for light aircraft to
enhance aviation safety. The primary objective of this
system is to accurately record essential flight parameters
to improve the analysis and understanding of aircraft
performance and safety. The system integrates with various
sensors, including an accelerometer and a Pitot tube with
an airspeed sensor. The paper looks at methodology, design
issues, and testing steps of the Flight Data Recorder (FDR)
system development. The early stages of this project showed
that it had a reliable and accurate system during test flights
as well as for collecting and monitoring critical flight data.
Integrating more sensors in tandem with AI-driven
functionalities to enhance its capacity will be studied
further. These findings provide insights into how important
these advanced FDR systems are for light aircraft
operations. This AI-enhanced FDR system uses state-of-the
art technology to improve aviation safety. | en_US |
