Digitized management of flight data

University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

Abstract: Digital flight logs were created through the use of an already existing application called Open Glider Network. Open Glider Network's system allows collection of data from airplanes that have FLARM installed. FLARM, which is an acronym for Flight Alarm, is the current safety precaution used to prevent collision between smaller aircraft. In addition, it also registers measurements such as the aircraft’s speed, altitude, and position. This project focuses on the use of collected data from the FLARM system to create digitized flight logs for Stockholms Segelflygklubb, made available through a website. This will allow them to compare the system with the analog one to ensure the safety aspects are the same. By doing this, they can minimize the human error concerning the logs when using the system.
