This document guides to an efficient use of FDVCAS system. FDVCAS is a reconstruction, playback, interactive visualization tool, which collects, stores, processes, analyses and present the flight data in high fidelity graphical presentation in 2D and 3D format. It synchronizes and presents in both graphical and synthetic visual form to the extends of analysing the impact of the data on the system in 3D graphic animation. The existing process involves in capturing the data from different input sources and formats, analysing the features of the data monitoring is done manually in offline in a unsynchronized fashion, This is difficult, time consuming and requires highly skilled technical expertise as it is visualized in plain data form. The above standard procedures followed shall be integrated and automated with minimum intelligence to be built, in with the system. In order to analyse the flight data in a coherent way it is required to integrate both 2D and 3D form The proposed concept is the Development of a system with a single solution by providing data display, graphical charts and replay features with a sophisticated graphical user interface, which is super imposed on the outside window imagery. FDVCAS consists of Bypass data acquisition system, Outside Window Imagery (OWI) system with graphical analyser. Bypass data acquisition system receives data from aircraft recorder and transmits the data in engineering format to FDVCAS system. The OWI system has three main modules namely, 3D Visual module, GUI based Graphical analyser and Warning display module. The warnings and the graphical plots are super imposed on the 3D Visual.

The University of Glasgow, Department of Aerospace Engineering has been in possession of a Czech manufactured Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) airframe 1 since 1996. Significant modifications have been made and will continue to be made in order to render the design functional and airworthy. The name ‘Condor’ was chosen as the moniker for the new aircraft. The latest phase of these modifications is the design and implementation of the Condor’s in-flight data acquisition (DAQ) system. The paper will outline the various processes involved and decisions made in the design and implementation of a simple data acquisition system for a RPV. The requirements of the system were first identified, such as those quantities that were deemed essential to the effective operation of the RPV. For example, airspeed, angle of attack, angle of sideslip etc. and the necessary instrumentation for measuring such values chosen and the subsequent signal conditioning needed for the signals to be intelligible to the DAQ Card and computer.
