both a symbolic aircraft indicating download in progress and a % complete estimate. The files
to be downloaded can have one of several states – “OK”, “In progress…”, “Pending”,
“Skipped”, “Active”, “Failed”.
When downloaded to the USB fob, the data logs will be saved in .csv files. This can be
imported into newer versions of Microsoft Excel into a table format. The data can then be
plotted or analyzed by several 3rd party tools. Note that files can easily contain 50MB or
more of data.
10.3 Software Update
The following procedures should be followed when performing optional or mandatory
software change to the IFD System:
1.
Acquire the software image and associated loading procedure
from the manufacturer.
2.
Verify the software part number configuration before and after
maintenance is performed on the airborne equipment using the
loading procedure instructions.
3.
It is the responsibility of maintenance personnel to ensure the
identified part is recorded in the necessary maintenance logs.
4.
It is the maintenance personnel’s responsibility to ensure that the
software part identification has been logged. When new
software is loaded into the unit, the correct software part
number should be verified according to the instructions
accompanying the software change before the unit is returned to
service. Hardware versions are identified on the data label by
brackets following the main part number.
Changes to software part number, version, and/or operational characteristics should be
reflected in the Operator’s Manual, Aircraft Flight Manual, Aircraft Flight Manual
Supplement, and/or any other appropriate document.
