Abstract
A flight data recorder (FDR) may include a script engine configured to run an algorithm in order to obtain, analyze and use FDR and Cockpit Voice and Data Recorder (CVDR) data for non-Technical Standard Orders (TSO) applications. The script engine may be configured, by the algorithm, to analyze flight data received by the FDR and use the flight data to output a trigger via an Ethernet port or an ARINC 429 output. The script engine may also analyze the flight data and stream at least a portion of the flight data via the Ethernet port or the ARINC port.
Claims16
A data processing method comprising:
- a scripting engine disposed within a flight data recorder (FDR) receiving a plurality of algorithms from a script database within the flight data recorder;
- and
- the scripting engine running the plurality of algorithms and thereby analyzing flight data and outputting a trigger from the FDR, based on the flight data, according to one or more of the plurality of algorithms.
A flight data recorder (FDR) comprising:
- a trigger script database which stores therein a plurality of algorithms;
- a scripting engine configured to run the plurality of algorithms and thereby analyze flight data and output a trigger based on the flight data;
- an Ethernet port;
- and
- an Aeronautical Radio, Incorporated (ARINC) 429 output;
- wherein the scripting engine is configured to output the trigger via at least one of the Ethernet port and the ARINC 429 output.
A flight data recorder (FDR) comprising:
- a trigger script database which stores therein a plurality of algorithms;
- a scripting engine configured to receive and run the plurality of algorithms;
- an Ethernet port;
- and
- an Aeronautical Radio, Incorporated (ARINC) 429 output;
- wherein the scripting engine is further configured to:
- receive and run a first algorithm of the plurality of algorithms;
- receive and run a second algorithm of the plurality of algorithms, thereby changing an algorithm run by the scripting engine;
- and
- by running the second algorithm, analyze flight data and output a trigger based on the flight data.
