data reduction

Thank you TK and Shad. Makes my day.

We must be careful looking at the recorded data unless we have put the test vehicle and recorders thru similar environments and exerted a lotta effort to ensure we have "good data" at the end. This incident did not lend itself to a disciplined engineering testing approach. It may well have been a "one of a kind" test point.

From my experience as a data reduction engineer, after I hung up my gee suit, the most noisy data from the sensors was pneumatic pressures. So I can see some spikes in the air data and such. Really great sensors and some clever filtering by the data reduction gnomes can help. But we still have to look at the raw data and make a value judgement.
