Settings
Landing speed
This is similar to takeoff speed, but it is used to detect land-
ings. As soon as airspeed drops below this threshold, Aetos considers
that the aircraft has landed and marks this in logger. It also stops
counting flight time.
Detection delay
is valid both for takeoff and landing speed. It defines the
time for which takeoff or landing condition must be met. This is used
to prevent false takeoff/landing detection.
Landing rotor RPM
Set this to zero for all aeroplanes. Rotorcraft shall set
this to a value, where they can’t fly anymore (say 200 RPMs). When
landing rotor RPM is set, Aetos does not relay completely on the land-
ing speed alone, but it also demands that rotor RPMs are lower than
given threshold. Only when both, speed and rotor RPMs are below
their thresholds, it will detect landing.
Engine RPM threshold
is the limiting engine RPMs used to detect that en-
gine is running.
6.3.6
Maintenance
This option is used to set a maintenance warning. Figure 32 shows the main-
tenance options on the left and a warning window on the right.
