Digital recording and replay system for an aircraft and method for reproduction of onboard instrumentation of an aircraft
First Claim
1. A digital recording and replay system for an aircraft, comprising:
- a Mission Computer that is a central part of an avionics system of the aircraft;
an Operational Flight Program stored on the Mission Computer, the Operational Flight Program comprising a dataset defining at least one of a training scenario and a mission of the aircraft, the Operational Flight Program being configured to apply digital signal processing to input source signals representing aircraft parameters and to generate therefrom instrument data for onboard instrument of the aircraft to be presented to an operator or pilot of the aircraft, said instrument data comprising input data transferred to a graphics card of the aircraft and driving a display of the aircraft;
a Mission Data Recorder operatively connected to said Mission Computer configured to record said instrument data; and
a Mission Debriefing System configured to reproduce the onboard instruments by regenerating the display of the aircraft based on said instrument data retrieved from the Mission Data Recorder, wherein the display can be selected or unselected during the training scenario or the mission.

13. A method of reproducing onboard instrumentation of an aircraft, comprising the steps of:
-
operatively connecting a Mission Data Recorder to a Mission Computer of an avionics system of the aircraft having an Operational Flight Program; applying digital processing to input source signals representing aircraft parameters, said digital signal processing being performed by the Operational Flight Program; generating instrument data for onboard instruments of the aircraft to be presented to an operator or pilot of the aircraft, said instrument data comprising input data transferred to a graphics card of the aircraft and driving a display of the aircraft, wherein said generating is performed by the Operational Flight Program; recording said instrument data generated by the Mission Computer using said Mission Data Recorder; and reproducing the onboard instruments by regenerating the display of the aircraft with a Mission Debrief System based on instrument data retrieved from the Mission Data Recorder, wherein the display can be selected or unselected during the training scenario or the mission. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
