Please Note:
- By default the first 30 mins of a flight will be displayed
- Resolution of data will depend on the reporting interval set for each spider, e.g. VFDR tracks will display data points for every 15 seconds.
- These two GPS parameters sent over iridium will be the default display.
- Parameters from Iridium display in user preference units.
- When there is no data available to display in the time series chart, the widget will display with the following text: 'This chart is not available for this flight. If this is a recent flight, the data may be currently under processing. Please check back again later'. This may be due to:
- Flight precedes this feature being developed
- Data is available in Production from 14 Dec 2021 onwards
