Abstract
Aircrafts have become increasingly sophisticated, especially in terms of the electronics equipment installed on
them. With modern technology, it is possible for us to record multiple parameters of different types of aircrafts.
However, the use of technology varies in aircrafts depending on manufacturer, aircraft design, operational
requirements, model year, weight, size and other key parameters. In this paper, an integrated electronic sensor
has been proposed that tracks different flight parameters including movements about the three axes,
temperature, humidity, pressure, magnitude, altitude and acceleration. This sensor is based on Arduino Mega.
The sensor can be used on board an aircraft for generating and keeping data of the flight trajectory. Such data
can help in predicting possible issues that may occur to the aircraft in the future. Also, the sensor would serve as
a real time check mechanism of the flight navigation instruments. It is not supposed to be integrated into any
airborne instrument to avoid regulatory concerns. However, it would help in keeping flight data of all aircrafts.
This data can then be used for quality and training purposes
