System Description Alpha Systems utilizes a stand-alone, battery powered data acquisition computer. System Components Alpha Systems Engineering Corporation's sensor suite includes an air data boom, 6-DOF motion sensor, pressure transducers, position transducers, vibration and audio transducers, load cells, Hall effect devices and video cameras to view and record the instrument console. The various sensors measure aircraft performance inside the fuselage compartment to the greatest extent possible. Each installation can also be custom designed to minimize aircraft alterations. Safety and Certification Safety is always our greatest concern.
Every attempt is made to assure non-interference with aircraft systems.
Complete FAA design walk-throughs and reviews are conducted on a regularly scheduled basis. Certification documents, review comments, and all inspection results are included in the final data package. Each installation and test process includes a detailed checklist and review of all fail-safe measures to assure that a sensor or mounting failure will not affect aircraft handling. The entire system is installed by certified aircraft technicians and thoroughly ground-tested prior to aircraft operation.
