1. GOAL: FLIGHT DATABASE UPDATE-RAW DATA STORAGE
What is the automatic

analysis in the AGS?
The Automatic Analysis is
the powerful process
which allows the automatic
flight database update and
the raw data storage
Automatic analysis purpose:
• Automatic analysis is a powerful process for systematic transcription and decoding of all flight data
recording.
• Automatic analysis is designed to minimize repetitive daily task and manage

alone:
- 1. Event detection with report generation,
- 2. Output of data file for specific software (Engine trend Monitoring…),
- 3. Updated of AGS database (Media, flight, event and snapshot tables),
- 4. Flight (raw) data storage.

2. THE AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS PROCESS

AGS stores flight
identification, events …
Flight #1: File no=102365
(CDG-LHR ...) in the AGS Database AGS
according to the AGS
Media
Flight #2: File no=102366 internal reference
(LHR-TLS ...)
AUTOMATIC
Flight #3: File no=102367 ANALYSIS
(TLS-ORY ...)
Server / Workstation Disk AGS detects flight contained in the media and compute for
each flight an AGS Unique internal reference
rd102365.sac
Flight #1 AGS store each flight file (File no=102365) (File no=102366) (File no=102367)
(raw data file) on the
rd102366.sac Server / workstation disk

The different treatments executed during the automatic analysis:

• Automatic treatments on each recognized flight.
- The flight identification in term of date, flight number origin and destination,
- The conversion of recorded parameters into engineering values,
- The computation of additional parameters,
- The event detection,
- The memorization of snapshot parameters for subtle trend.
• Storage in AGS database.

- At the end of the automatic analysis, the AGS stores in its database all analyzed flights with the raw
data and the associated results including the detected events and the snapshot parameters.
- The purpose of the flight database storage is to allow the statistic analysis and the possibility to replay
later any flight.
• Storage in External File.

- AGS allows to create and to store data in external files, for instance to provide data to other software,
as engine trend monitoring or flight safety system.

Where can I launch
the automatic It depends on the Airline
analysis process in
the AGS? Do I need organization and also on
an operator or could the onboard configuration.
it be a complete
automatic process?
You may need an operator
or have a complete
automatic process
Automatic analysis process:
• Flight data recording on a physical media will require an operator to launch the automatic analysis
process.
• Wireless flight data transfer will require the automatic analysis to be launched without any
operator
- The AGS is set up in a specific mode (autonomous),
- One folder is defined as the download folder to receive the flight data files,
- The AGS is waiting for files to be downloaded in that specific folder,
- The AGS launch the automatic analysis as soon as recognized files are detected in the download
folder.

• I must analyze F-AAAA and A-CCCO aircraft:
- Open the drive set up window to define 2 media to be analyzed,
- Set up the ‘OPTICAL’ drive label with the path = CDROM drive letter ,
- Insert the A-CCCO CD in the CDROM drive,

Tutorial – Automatic Analysis in

autonomous mode
• I must set up my station to detect any
known files in the download folder –
these files are protected by a
password:
- Open the Autonomous Mode window,
- Leave the ‘Command…..’ field blank,
- Define the Download folder as
D:\Download,
- Enter the password ‘training’
- Click on the Start button,
- The AGS is ready and waiting for files in
the Download folder.
14
Tutorial – Automatic Analysis in autonomous mode

• Copy the file A-CCCM31102006083000M.zip in the folder
D:\Download and wait,
• At the end of the analysis the log file
content the status and comments on
the automatic analysis process,
• The user has access to the analysis
report
15
Flight data files management

• Wireless or zipped flight data
files are transferred from
Download to FlightData,
• The AGS performs the analysis
from the FlightData folder,
• Once the analysis is over, the
file is deleted from FlightData,
• In case of non recognized file
format the file is moved to
Rejected
• In case of analysis problem the
file is moved to NotAnalyzed

showing flight mind that the major
information, but you
were talking about purpose of the automatic
database…… analysis is to update the
database with new flight
information

Data file output for dedicated software interface.

AGS is able to create files to be used by another software, as:
• Engines Trend Monitoring,
• Aircraft Performance Monitoring,
• Flight Safety SW,
• Any airline application.
External file creation is programmed in procedure for Maintenance or
Flight operation monitoring.

6.3 THE DATA FILES (INTERFACES TO EXTERNAL SOFTWARE)
Tutorial – Access to SAGE reports (Cruise and Take off)
• I am using SAGE Engine Trend Monitoring Software and I need
to transfer the generated reports to the maintenance people:
- Browse D:\SAGE\QUEUES\AUTOMATIC,
- Double click on ADINCR.SGE and ADINTO.SGE to open them and see
the files structure,

7. THE FLIGHT REPLAY
This is the flight replay
There is a Replay
function in the
function. The function is
Flight and in the exactly the same from both
Event list. What is it list
for ?
AGS offers the possibility to re-analyze flight data (from the raw data)
already stored in the database. Two important facilities are offered:
Re-build an analysis of stored flights
• AGS stores only raw data but not the engineering values.
• The replay function enables to quickly generate engineering values from the raw data
stored on the server, and so to display parameters of the concerned flight.
Execute a different analysis on stored flights
• Thanks to the replay function, user can execute a different analysis on a
given flight list already stored in order to update the results in the database:
- Different event detection with different limits,
- New analysis regarding new event detection procedures for statistics improvement.
30
One of the major purpose of flight replay is the event table re-building
in accordance of:
• New event detection procedures.
• New event detection limits.
In order to avoid confusion between old events and new events,
the AGS SW performs during the flight replay:
• 1. Canceling of all current event and snapshot parameter objects.
• 2. Computing of event and snapshot procedures in accordance with the database
version selected.
• 3. Updating the database with new set of event and snapshot parameter objects.

36
Tutorial – Replay the flights analysed with the DB Version 10385 (1/4)
• I have developed a new event detection procedure 3406 for Roll exceedence in
flight:
- Let me import this new procedure in your DB version 10385 and validate,
- Search for flights analyzed with the DB version 10385,
- Select flights displayed in black,
- Click on Replay
Flights in red mean no raw data

available for that flights and so no
possible replay
37
7. THE FLIGHT REPLAY 1
• Replay the selected flights only for the event 3406:
- Open the replay analysis options 1 ,
- Click on the Event selection 2 ,
- Select the DB version 10385 3 ,
- Add 3406 4 ,
- OK 1
- OK Analysis options
- Start the replay
4 2
38
• Look at the analysis result:
- Open the replay analysis report,
- Switch from A-CCCO to F-AAAA report,
No event 3406 detected for A-CCCO
2 Events 3406 detected for F-AAAA

39
• Look at the analysis result:
- Open the flight database,
- Display F-AAAA flights,
- Select the ‘black’ one,
- Display the associated events

8. EXTRA: AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS IN TWO PASSES
Scope of analysis in two passes.

• The analysis in two passes allows to memorized characteristic parameters to
be used in the second pass.
• This feature permits to perform as a predicted analysis.
For instance:
• a) Height display in AGS curve.
• b) Analysis according to the destination airport.
Process:
• Pass 1:
- Detection of primary flight information.
// Landing runway memorisation definition
- Arrival airport information: runway, elevation… // ======================================
DEFINE_PAR1PASS(RUNWAY_LD)
- Memorization of parameters (user defined)
41
Pass 2 :
• a) HEIGHT computation
ALT_STD = 1872 feet
2000 feet HEIGHT = 1000 feet
HEIGHT
ALT_STD = 872 feet

500 feet HEIGHT = 0
Relief drawing
Relief=HEIGHT - RALT
• b) Analysis according to the destination airport and runway
Specific event monitoring according to the airport and the runway
// MONITORING AT NICE/COTE D’AZUR AIRPORT RUNWAY 04L
// =================================================
IF (FLIGHT_PHASE=APPROACH AND DESTINATION=‘NCE’ AND RUNWAY_LD=‘04L’ THEN
…
ENDIF
