Real-Time Flight Recording via Mobile Devices for Autonomous and Assisted Navigation Tasks

Abstract:

This article presents the implementation of an application developed under the android operating system to evaluate the actions performed after a flight mission in manned aircrafts. The informatics application will be installed on an Android device that will be transported by a crew member of the aircraft. In order to obtain the required signals for the post-flight analysis, two sensors are used: Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), which are immersed in the Android device. The information generated at aircraft corresponding to the attitude and position is stored within a SD memory of the android device. The stored data corresponding to the position are: latitude, length, height, velocity, and hour; while the data corresponding to the attitude are Roll, Pitch, and Yaw.
