ABSTRACT
Presented programme has to be adjusted to match specified time and expenses. Tool used for FT programme time optimization is SYMBAD, software developed by Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT).
2 FLIGHT TEST TIME SIMULATION SOFTWARE SYMBAD 2012/2013
The SYMBAD 2012/2013 software has been developed under the Borland C++ Builder programming environment. It uses an innovative approach to any issues of the aeronautical testing. The software can be used to estimate time consumed by specified tests on particular date and in particular place. Software uses following information as input data:
• reliability of individual aircraft tests, • flyable days in particular months, • flyable hours in particular months • availability of the pilots • the pilot data,
The software may also deliver a printout with the set of tests and predictions on time needed to accomplish them.
