A2.0 Appendix:

Recorded Flight Data Formatting

A2.1 File Name Format:

Individual flights are recorded and stored in the MVP with a unique file name.

Example: Flt12_09-10-05f.csv

“Flt12” Represents the 12

th

flight recorded. The flight number will be reset to one when the

MVP “Reset Flight Num to 1” feature has been performed.

“09-10-05” Represents the date of the flight.

“f” Represends the Flight Status (p = Power on, Engine off. r = Engine running. f =

Flight Timer started.)

“.csv” The data is formatted so a flight data file (using the “.csv” extension) will automatically

be loaded into a Microsoft Excel spread sheet or EGView from EGTrends.

Flight data files can be written from the MVP to the USB memory stick and installed on your computer for viewing.
See section 5.2.2.
