Ground tests performed in SENS4ICE
Photos taken during the ground tests performed in the framework of the SENS4ICE project in April 2022. See the photos in the article below for detailed captions.
In April 2022, the SENS4ICE partner ATR performed a three-day ground test on the SAFIRE ATR-42 aircraft.
The objective was to:
- validate the acquisition of the Flight Data Acquisition Unit (FDAU) parameters by a dedicated acquisition system (ACRA),
- check avionics non-interference by the FDAU/ACRA installation;
- evaluate latency time induced by the FDAU/ACRA system.
The results of the ground test are in line with the expectations: aircraft parameters were acquired by the ACRA system and no disturbance was observed on the aircraft avionics. Also, the latency time between aircraft parameters capturing (FDAU/ACRA system) and relevant availability in the Test Installation for New Aircraft (IENA) frame was lower than expected.
