DSP,Signature analysis and automation

Hi,

Few days ago we celebrated the RTW in a PA46 (piston powered) of a friend (20) and my third son (23) both aviation students.

During the mission preparation, flying to met an aviation ace in Rio de Janeiro i emphasized to them on the limitations of the A/C instruments.

And when flying in russia (single pilot due ferry tank weight) the Capt. faced a serious engine oil issue, when overhead UEMO PSN bound to Yakutsk airport.

The plane landed there in emergency conditions and during the analysis of the incident discussing with the pilot we concluded on the convenience to have an oil level meter.

To learn on low oil level just by oil pressure indications is very dangerous.

So, what this relates to F-GZCP?

To learn on UAS by System output proved to be dangerous. You may just never understand the reason of System anomalies.

In both cases, the Signature analysis of the analog signals can provide to the crew a very useful information in order to allow a good crisis management, before worms could infect the scenario.

Some posters here worked with DSP (Digital Signal Processing) and know how feasible is a subsystem capable to help decisively at UAS onset.


In the carter oil Liquidometer case it seems in a first analysis you may have a pretty good signature by some temp. sensors installed in the carter. The splash is distinct at decaying oil levels during long flights.
