Annotations

The operator can add annotations (text entries) during flight execution. Each annotation also include the time when the annotation was created by the operator. The annotations are added to the flightdata.xml metadata file that is passed along with the recorded data for data processing.

The text for the annotation is selected by the operator from the Annotation Text list. The Annotation Text list can contain large number of annotation text. The maximum length of the annotation text is 80 characters. The operator can add additional annotation texts to the Annotation Text list. The operator can edit or delete the existing annotation texts in the Annotation Text list. Each annotation text has an Annotation ID. The Annotation Text list is sorted by the Annotation ID. The Annotation ID is not added to the flightdata.xml metadata file.
