Serial Data files

These are ASCII files of the sequential data collected during a flight at 1-second intervals. Each line contains the flight ID, which is the year, month, and day of the mission followed by a letter identifier of the aircraft used. There follows the time and location of the aircraft and several aircraft and meteorological parameters, such as the speed, pitch, and roll of the plane, and the temperature, humidity, wind direction and speed, and pressure measure at that time. Each parameter is preceeded by a letter designation of the parameters identity with designators and data delimited by commas.
