GROUND STATION SOFTWARE UPDATE AND CERTIFICATION SUPPORT

Based on our performance developing the FADEC software, MANNARINO was asked to develop ground support equipment (GSE) engine software.

MANNARINO’s responsibilities included:

  • Support certification of software
  • Review sub-system safety analysis
  • Generate all civil certification life cycle data
  • Upgrade the GSE software functionality to meet functional requirements
  • Improve GSE environment supportability (Windows XP/2000/Vista)
  • Update documentation for GSE users and developers

The GSE for digital engine controllers provides engine-monitoring functions to capture and store control system failure information and engine history data. This information is used by maintenance personnel to isolate engine problems and/or determine the necessary maintenance action. The GSE software is a tool that allows maintenance personnel to communicate with the engine FADEC for downloading engine monitoring data, or uploading calibration constants and engine history data for a new or replacement FADEC. The GSE software may also be configured as an engineering tool for FADEC interrogation during engine testing.
