Can you replay a real flight in X-Plane or FS2020?

Yes you can!

Use the data from any aircraft that logs data to an SD card with our FDR tool to generate flight replays and graphs to analyse.

Many electronic flight instrument systems (EFIS), even on light and microlight aircraft, have this ability!

EXAMPLE VIDEO
Many EFIS are useable

Most Electronic Flight Instrument systems log flight data to internal memory or SD card. This is true of MLA aircraft up to multi-engine pistons and beyond. We have seen capable Garmin, Dynon and other systems. Examples include the Garmin 1000, Garmin 460 and Dynon Skyview

Analyse and animate real life flights

Once you have your flight data on an SD card, you upload it into your GASafety FDR account. You can then generate replay files for X-Plane 10, 11 and FS2020. You do not even need the matching aircraft model in the simulation software!

Try the Replay tool for free

Our FDR tool gives you the ability to upload data files, view the data and generate animation files.

You can try it for free, only a valid email address is required.

Client Testimonials

The FDR replay tool has been used in several landing incidents and low speed event investigations in the Netherlands.

The FDR tool has enabled us to visualise incidents, which has been extremely valuable in debriefing the pilots concerned. In addition, with the pilots consent, it has provided a powerful way for all to learn at safety meetings.

During investigation, the ability to flexibly plot graphs of the flight parameters has been instrumental to determining the issues leading up to the incidents.

Animations have also proven highly valuable to pilots for reviewing routine flights and lessons!
