Cargo Carrier Installs Animation System

Bill Carey

Teledyne Controls, Los Angeles, said Lufthansa Cargo has completed installation of Teledyne’s “Vision” flight-data animation system, providing rapid visualization of complex flight scenarios for use in incident investigations. The Vision system is a third generation, Windows-based software application that reconstructs flight data and provides a clear picture of complex and interrelated actions that occur during an event or incident, providing flight path generation algorithms, photo realistic aircraft instrumentation, airfield satellite imagery, as well as navigation and data plots. The system is used in conjunction with AirFASE, a flight data measurement, analysis and reporting software tool developed by Teledyne Controls and Airbus. Built upon the Vision system that was installed in 2001 at Lufthansa main line in Frankfurt, Germany, the new Vision installation has been configured to allow the data replay and enhanced visualization of Lufthansa Cargo’s fleet of MD-11 aircraft. Following Lufthansa Airlines and Lufthansa Cityline, Lufthansa Cargo is the third company in the group to adopt the Teledyne Vision solution.
