Graphic Interface

You can view the flight data information in a graphical format. For this, you simply have to select the Graphics button on the Event page.

After a few seconds, you will see the different parameters of the flight displayed based on the Time Range, selected in the top menu by moving sliders.

Each Parameter on the right end side corresponds to the color of the curve from the graph. All curves are automatically positioned to best fit the page.

In our next example,by leaving your cursor above a parameter in the legend, you get a tooltip indicating the Parameter content, and at the same time, the corresponding curveis highlighted as shown in this graph.

 

Navigatethrough the graph

You can also access the graphic view from the EVENT view of your flight data information. For this, you simply need to select the Graphics button on the Event page.

If you place the cursor over the graph (not on a curve), you can see a verticalline following the cursor with the corresponding time on the top.

 By leaving the cursor at the same location and rolling the mouse scroll wheel, you can zoom in or zoom out. Zooming in corresponds to stretching the time. In our example, we want to see greater details during the take-off section.

Using the left button of your mouse select and drag, allows you to PAN the graph view.
