The present invention is Data Analysis capability using OpenGL to design the
modules of this Virtual Cockpit Instrumentation.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Milking and Analysis Equipment uses latest technologies of USB/Ethernet for
data replay faster than recording time. SSFDR records all aircraft parameters
during the sortie & Milking and Analysis Equipment milk out the recorded data
using the predefined protocols. This data is further used to analyze the flight
under different conditions. The present system caters the requirement to
upgrade the existing Milking and Analysis Equipment systems in addition with
advanced analysis features.
This Virtual Cockpit Instrumentation shall enhance the performance of existing
Milking and Analysis Equipment system in following ways:
1. Reconstruction of flight path based on the recorded data in 2D display mode.
2. Display the view of the various Aircraft parameter controls it is seen in the
cockpit during the flight i.e. offline system.
SUMMARY OF PRESENT INVENTION
In accordance with one aspect of present invention, Cockpit Instruments
images are used dedicatedly to replicate the actual Cockpit Instrument.
In accordance with second aspect of present invention, it takes the
downloaded data stored in *.xls/*.txt file and presents the same using the
instruments.
In accordance with another aspect of present invention, it generates the 2D
Flight path based on the value of Latitude & Longitude with respect to Elapsed Time.
In accordance with yet another aspect of present invention, the analysis starts
while pressing the left button on the Elapsed Time Scale & stops on pressing the
Right button. The analysis shows the exact value while pressing the middle button.
Annexure‐II
In accordance with yet another aspect of present invention, it will enhance the
performance of existing Milking and Analysis Equipment system.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The features and advantages of the present invention will become more
apparent and descriptive in the description when considered together with
figures/flow charts presented:
Fig. 1 is an event flow diagram of Virtual cockpit Instrumentation Analysis.
Fig. 2 is an event flow diagram of 2D Flight Analysis.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Virtual Cockpit Instrumentation:
The module generates cockpit instrument panel window present in aircraft.The
cockpit instruments typically reflect the aircraft Cockpit instruments and the
measurement values and limits are the same. The basic cockpit instruments like
Altitude, Mach number, Horizontal Situation Indicator, Air Speed, Heading
Indicator, and Jet Pipe Temperature etc. are provided.
Module allows user to select any of the cockpit instruments during display
provided the maximum number of displays limited by designer. The Cockpit
Instrument runs with respect to IST time and in sync with the other analyses like
Graphical and path Reconstruction.
Flight Path Reconstruction in 2D display mode:
The module is able to construct the flight path as per latitude and longitude data
recorded in SSFDR as per frame format. The latitude and longitude will work as
way point for flight path construction.
