7.13 FLIGHT DATA LOGGING DEVICE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Flight Data Logging Device (APIBOX) is a solid state digital Flight Data
Monitoring System designed for General Aviation use, allowing the recording of a
very large number of aircraft and flight parameters as well as audio signals and to
perform their analysis on the ground on a dedicated and user friendly software. Data
is easily downloaded from the system after each flight using a standard SD card and
can be reviewed on a personal computer through the use of an Analysis Software
provided with the system.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The APIBOX SYSTEM consists of five main components:
• The Memory and Data Processing Unit (APIV2-002-HARDEN) receives
digital raw data from the Sensor Interface Unit, converts them into directly
readable parameters and stores them into the hardened and fire proof
memory. Recorded capacity of the MDPU is very large, both in terms of
audio signals and recorded parameters.
• The Power Supply Unit (APIPWR-001) is connected to the aircraft´s
Battery Bus and Hot Bus and supplies 28V DC to the Memory and Data
Processor Unit.
• The Sensor Interface Unit (APICAP-003) receives the aircraft analog and
digital inputs as well as the pilot and copilot audio intercom unit signals
and processes them into required formats before transmitting them to the
Memory and Data Processing Unit.
