March 5, 20188 yr Hello! Is the output folder for the flight recorder file Documents/Maddog X Files/DFDR? I have this folder but it is always emtpy, altough I already did some flights.

March 5, 20188 yr You have to make a few manual entries to start the DFDR, otherwise it won't output anything. See Volume 2, 02_Procedure Guide in the docs folder. Page 9 has the info that tells you how to start the Data Recorder.

March 5, 20188 yr I have a .txt file in the folder with data in the file, but is there a guide which explains the columns in the data file? Also, it would not appear the lat/long are included in the file. Brian Andonian RW commercial pilot: #2600156
March 5, 20188 yr There are headlines to each column that are rather suggestive for most of them. Here's what I managed to figure - from left to right. 1) time 2 + 3) Event by name (flaps, gear up/down etc.) 4) Baro Alt. 5) Radio Alt. 6) IAS 7) TAS 8) Ground Speed 9) Vertical Speed (feet/min x 10) 10 ) Heading 11) BNK (probably bank but not sure as for the units, perhaps deg x 10) 12) ATT (probably attitude, probably deg x 10) 13) ACF ? 14) ACS ? 15) ACV ? 16-21) EP1, N11, N21, EG1, FF1, FU1 - EPR, N1, N2, EGT, Fuel Flow, Fuel Used engine 1 22-27) EP2, N12, N22, EG2, FF2, FU2 - EPR, N1, N2, EGT, Fuel Flow, Fuel Used engine 2 28) RAT? 29-34) FT1, OP1, OT1, OQ1, HP1, HQ1 - Fuel temperature, Oil pressure, Oil Temp. , Oil Quantity, Hydraulic Press. , Hydraulic Quantity Engine 1 35-40) FT2, OP2, OT2, OQ2, HP2, HQ2 - Fuel temperature, Oil pressure, Oil Temp. , Oil Quantity, Hydraulic Press. , Hydraulic Quantity Engine 2 That's what I make of it, if anyone has more insight then of course they are welcomed to add or correct.
March 5, 20188 yr ACF, ACS and ACF ... maybe acceleration on the 3 axis? just a thought, ciao Francesco Francesco Z. (groundeddog)
March 10, 20188 yr Author I tried to set the Flight Recorder but I still dont get any recordings... I followed the instructions in the Manual - Vol2 - 02_Procedure Guide - "Cockpit Preparation" on Page 9 of the PDF. What do you guys setup to get the recorder working?
