These systems were invented and designed for aircrafts requirements or use in avionic laboratories. They are mainly used to deliver information to the pilot and aircraft during the flight sessions. These information is mostly regards the temperature, pressure and altitude of the flight path.
Features of air data test systems
* They are have a high accuracy level that is compliant with RVSM
* They have a programmable test routine
* They have an annual recalibration period
* The systems offer protection to other units that are under the test
* They are compatible with other existing systems in the aircraft.
The key products include;
a. Stall protection system
b. Angle of attack
c. Outside and total pressure sensors
d. Pitot static probes
These products have varying functions, use that match up to their designs, and make. Discussed below are the crucial functions that govern these air data test systems.
a. Stall protection system- this is a certified requirement that is needed in all transport aircrafts. These systems help keep the aircraft at stable levels when there is a sudden reduction in lift that occurs when critical angle is exceeded. The system makes a noise that alerts the pilot of a possible stall.
b. Pitot static probes- this is an aircraft system that is used to determine various forces that affect the aircraft. These forces include the altitude, airspeed, temperature and altitude trend.
c. Outside and total pressure Sensors – these are sensors programmed to detect, sense and develop the information of the pressures outside the aircraft. They also monitor if the atmosphere in the aircrafts is at par with the outside atmosphere. They sensors vary depending on temperature range, pressure and the temperature they measure.
d. Angle of attack- these is a system that monitors the motion of aircraft wings and the reaction to the atmosphere or pressure. They specify the angle at which they collide and transmit the information to the pilot.
Main advantages of air test data systems
* They provide improved system performance that guarantees efficiency and productivity.
* They provide accurate air data output that is digital and can be relayed for encoding with minimal efforts.
* The use of these systems reduces the life cycle cost in that through their detection aircraft operators are able to detect anything wrong and rectify it before breakdown of the aircraft.
These systems can be installed in commercial aircrafts, helicopters, and military aircrafts.
