DSU Data download from airplane

• Power on the aircraft.
• Put an empty, USB stick in the Co-Pilots Arm rest. (formatted as FAT32)
• Wait until the LED (if available on USB stick) stops flashing. It will usually take between 1-10 minutes to download your DSU data, depending on the size of the file.

Prep DSU data for upload

• Connect the USB stick to your computer, and navigate to the "flightHistory" folder.
• You should find one large file ending in .eaofh (Single File DSU).
• Zip the .eaofh files before upload. (This will significantly reduce the size.) The system will ignore previously uploaded files if you accidentally submit them. To zip the file:
• Windows: Select the file(s); right click and select "Send To > Compressed (zipped) folder".
• Mac: Select the file(s); right click and select "Compress".
• Click on the Upload link in the menubar, and navigate to the zip file you created in step 3.
• Upload and wait. It takes a long time to parse the DSU files. You can close the "Processing Log" browser window at any time - processing will continue in the background.

• The "cookie" file will serve as a marker, telling the DSU where to begin the download
• A "cookie" file will automatically be generated after every upload and emailed directly to you.
• Place this "cookie" file onto the USB stick that you will be using to download data from the aircraft DSU
• If you need to generate a new "cookie" file, you can do so using our form HERE

• From the main screen press and hold the rotary hub
• Scroll to USB and data recording and press the rotary knob
• Scroll up to “WRITE LAST”
• Select the number of flights you’d like to write
