Airborne data server AMOS-B
Airborne data server (AMOS-B) by SPEEL PRAHA Ltd. company is designed to:
- gather, process, and record information about selected airborne systems of the two-seat jet aircraft L159B with the goal to offer the pilot information about the instant aircraft situation including warnings when the limit values are reached
- watch and monitor the load on the airframe in the long term
- record and protect the data designed to evaluate the air crashes
- watch and monitor the health state of the pilot
- guide the operator (i.e. the pilot or an engineer) during a preflight preparation of the aircraft using the sequence of defined tasks
- display a help during evaluation of critical events like tools for effective usage of the data recorded during the pilot's training
The difference from AMOS system for L159:
- different philosophy and construction of AMOS-B units
- large saving of cabling thanks to the location of the blocks on the aircraft
- communication between the AMOS-B blocks along the MIL-STD-1553B bus
- important increase to the number of analog and digital parameters
- larger amount of messages displayed on MFD display
- more detailed monitoring and evaluation of the load on the airframe
- record values of monitored paramaters and another information for at least 30 hours into the protected memory
- record two audio channels in length 120 minutes into the protected memory
AMOS-B system consists of the following two parts:
- cockpit units
ground units which ensure:
- state testing and calibration of AMOS-B system
- data transfer of AMOS-B (GSU, PMU) system
- transfer and evaluation of the AMOS-B system data
- evaluation of the AMOS-B (GEE, GSU) system data from the following view point:
- determining the cause of evaluated malfunctions
- investigation of extraordinary events
- pilot's work appraisal
- airframe load data processing
- data archiving

The ground evaluation system by SPEEL PRAHA Ltd. company designed for L159B aircraft helps the grounds maintenance team with:
- copying the flight parameters from CVFDR memory unit using either the (GSU) ground support unit or the (PMU) portable memory unit by SPEEL PRAHA Ltd. company.
- detailed data processing, evaluation, and browsing
- long-term monitoring using various program modules included in PANDA system
