FAST - Configuration and Test Revision E

1 Introduction
Advancements surrounding fast, intelligent real time in-flight data monitoring, case-based reasoning and next
generation trending will drive significant improvements in aircraft availability. Key to maximizing aircraft
availability is PWC’s vision of an extensive set of real time prognostic and diagnostic tools employed to keep
each of our customers flying, while ensuring that the all-important aspects of safety and low cost of operation
are also addressed.
1.1 System Description
The FAST is Pratt & Whitney Engine Services fourth generation of monitoring and transmission devices.
The FAST provides a wide range of communication interfaces through which aircraft and engine performance
data can be collected. The source of this data can be an existing airframe or engine recording system,
ARINC-429, or QAR data stream. The data collected will be transmitted to a ground station via cellular
protocol when the aircraft is on the ground and the engine(s) are off. The data can also be retrieved through a
RS-485 connection to a PC. Both the collection and transmission of data is done in a common, seamless,
inseparable platform from both a hardware and software perspective.
1.2 Functional Overview
The FAST will collect the data from the aircraft’s data busses and discrete inputs and will store in resident
non-volatile memory where data summarizing engine run performance will be maintained, analyzed, and
transmitted to the ground station for trend monitoring and maintenance recommendations.
Software configuration files, which customize the operation of the product to the particular aircraft it is
installed on, can be loaded to the FAST from a remote server or manually loaded with the ground based
software. The ground based software enables direct communication with the FAST to perform maintenance
functions, such as loading or retrieving configurations, retrieving data files, and performing system
diagnostics via a serial connection.
The FAST will provide the communications system through which aircraft and engine performance data can
stream to the Internet without operator intervention. The destination will be the Pratt & Whitney Engine
Services ground station. The FAST will be designed to support multiple communication modes to achieve
data transfer. These will include hardwire, cellular, and wireless LAN.
1.3 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide step by step instructions on how to install the Transfer Module
program onto a laptop and use the program to configure and test the FAST processor after it has been
successfully installed in the aircraft. The Transfer Module program is the ground based software.

6 Aircraft Testing
While following the requirements of FAR 91.407, it is recommended that the aircraft be inspected for
airworthiness prior to testing. If the ground test of the modified aircraft is not successfully completed, the aircraft
should be returned to the original aircraft configuration until the tests are completed and acceptable.
After installation of the FAST, it is recommended that ground tests be performed to verify the correct operation of
the system in the aircraft. The following sections outline the suggested aircraft and system test procedures.
6.1 Aircraft Ground Test – Engine(s) OFF
 010 With external power connected to aircraft, apply external power to the aircraft bus.
 020 Power on all avionics.
 030 Tune Comm 1 and Comm 2 VHF radios to the frequencies in Table 1 and verify that there is no
interference caused by the FAST. This can normally be conducted by checking for auto squelch break
on each listed frequency.
 040 If interference is suspected at any particular frequency, pull the FAST circuit breaker to see if the
interference subsides.
 050 If the aircraft is equipped with a GPS navigation receiver, display the satellite status page and cycle

7 FAST Data Retrieval and Upload Test


7.1 Automatic Data Retrieval and Upload
1) Start engine(s)
2) Shut off engine(s)
3) Leave aircraft power on for at least 15 minutes (data retrieval and upload time). This can be
accomplished by having the APU running (if equipped) or by providing ground power.
NOTE: Cessna Caravan Operators – Step 3 does not apply. The FAST will not retrieve or
upload the data until the aircraft power is shut OFF. Once the aircraft power is shut
OFF the FAST will latch to the “HOT” battery for 10 minutes and trigger the data
retrieval and upload.
4) Verify that the status “STS” Green LED illuminates solid on the FAST processor within one minute
after engine(s) shutdown. This indicates that the Cell modem RF is ON.
5) Verify that the status “STS” Green LED starts blinking (1Hz rate) within 20 minutes on the FAST
processor. When blinking, the FAST processor has made a cellular connection and is transmitting
data.
NOTE: The duration of step 5 is dependent on cellular signal strength.
6) Transmission is complete when the status “STS” Green LED transitions back to solid on the FAST
processor.
7) Shut aircraft power off.
8) Log into the CAMP Engine Health Monitoring (EHM) system.
9) Confirm that the data transmitted and posted to your account with the correct engine S/N’s shown.

NOTE: When a Dealer, Manufacturer, or Installer uses their own SIM card for testing purposes
ensure that it is removed from the FAST after all tests have successfully completed.

NOTE: When a Dealer, Manufacturer, or Installer uses their own SIM card and is different than
the Operator’s SIM card the FAST will require a new configuration file. Refer to
Section 3 for configuration instructions.

NOTE: Ensure that the Operator’s SIM card is installed (if available) prior to releasing the
aircraft.

NOTE: Ensure that the FAST Transmission Test is completed with the operator’s SIM card if it
has the ability to transmit in the geographic location. Refer to Section 5.
