“Read All Flight Plans”: This feature reads all flight plans in the “flight_plans” directory on the USB Data
Stick. Flight plans are designated with a “.txt” extension and must be stored in the “flight_plans” directory.
“Read All General Info”: This feature reads all general information files in the “general_info” directory on
the USB Data Stick. General information files are designated with a “.txt” extension and must be stored in the
“general_info” directory.
“Write Recorded Data to USB” Section:
All functions mapped to an EDC input will be recorded to a flight data file (even those functions that are not
displayed on the MVP Main Engine or System Screens). Every time the MVP is powered up a new flight
data file is opened and data is stored to that file. Each file has a unique name as follows:
Flt #_Date X.csv
# = Flight Number (same number stored in the Flight Log, Max Log, Min Log and Start Log)
Date = The date of the flight (example: 11-04-06).
X = Flight Status (p = power on, engine off. r = engine running, no flight. f = flight timer started.)
.csv = File Extension.
Example: Flt17_11-04-05f.csv
This section allows you to write 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 or all the
recorded flight data to the USB stick for review and/or
evaluation. Flight data files will be stored in the “data”
directory on the USB data stick.
Note: If you enter a system configuration screen and change
any data, a new flight data file with a new flight number may be
started.
Note: Formatting information on recorded flight data can be
found in the Appendix under the heading, “Recorded Flight
Data Formatting.”
“Data Recording Setup” Section:
“Recording Interval”: The time between recordings can be set from 0.3 seconds to 10 seconds. The
shorter the recording interval the more memory will be required and the less recording time will be available.
Normally a recording interval of 6 seconds will provide a good picture of each flight and provide a total
recording time of over 650 hours. If any value goes into or out of a programmed limit, all values will be
recorded at that instant, regardless of the recording interval.
“Current Flight Number”: Every time the MVP is powered-up the flight number is incremented and a new
flight data file is generated. The flight number and date are used to identify the recorded data for each flight.
