SOFTWARE PRESENTATION
The Computerized Airplane Flight Manual - CAFM performance
calculation software has been developed employing a modular
concept and in a manner that allows the user to run only the specific
configuration applicable to his/her airplane.
Among the many modules that compose the software, three kinds are
worth emphasizing:
− The Main Computer Interface - it is an user friendly calling
program that makes possible to input data and to obtain outputs
from the calculation.
− The
Calculation Module - the core of the software, which
obtains the inputs from the Calling Program and performs the
required calculations.
− The Database - a set of files read by
the Calculation Module, to
obtain engine and airplane data.
Each one of the modules above is approved by the Certification
Authority and bears a dedicated part number. When using the
software, a cross-reference with
the list of approved versions in the
Limitations Section of this Supplement must be made.
The CAFM version is composed of two numbers. If there is an update
only to the databases, the second number only moves on (e.g:
Version 3.2 evolves to Version 3.3). When the CAFM is revised with
changes on the Main Computer Interface or Calculation Modules the
version moves on (e.g: Version 3.2 evolves to Version 4.0).
Although the user interface is very friendly, a dedicated User's Guide
is also issued, as a separate document, providing detailed information
on software usage. In addition, the Main Computer Interface provides
a Help feature with useful on line information.
