... E-1 Appendix E Algori thms Employed in the Processing of the European FDR Data A query-based analysis was developed by Wyle and executed by Volpe on a dataset containing detailed flight data recorder data from 2359 commercial flight operations (aircraft startup to shut down)

... E-2 / operating state parameters were reported as non-zero) were not included in the taxi segment.
From page 135...
... E-3 The macro processes each input file, one at a time. It first opens the input file, forcing it to a specific .CSV format, saves it in that format, and then reads the entire input file into memory, storing it in an array.
From page 136...
... E-4 results included bias in the FDR data, clear indications of stationary aircraft (evidenced by zero ground speed) yet with non-zero accelerations in both the lateral and longitudinal directions, as well as some instances where the acceleration data just did not make sense.
