Abstract
This report presents a complete description of a digital flight data processing platform designed to support a range of airborne or flight simulator based experiments requiring the acquisition, processing, and display of information. The Programmable Pilot Oriented Display (PPOD) is based on IEEE S-100 bus standard equipment and readily available software utilities. The design philosophy and techniques used to achieve project objectives with a minimum of hardware/software customization are discussed. System resources include three Z80 processors, intelligent 10, complete interprocessor communications firmware, and RS-170 composite video output. Discussion of both PPOD capabilities and the steps required to employ PPOD in future experimental setups are presented in the context of a mobile test run.
