A measurement system has been developed for the production flight tests with the Fokker 50 and the Fokker 100 production aircraft. The system can be divided into two parts. Part One is the Data Acquisition Module which gathers data from the aircraft systems and records this raw data on magnetic tape for backup. The Data Acquisition Module is developed using the basic modular concept and basic components of the measurement systems used in the prototypes of the Fokker 50 and Fokker 100 aircraft. The second part is the Data Processing Module which performs the calibration of the measured data, the real time calculation of performance parameters and provides quick look presentation facilities during the measurements of the production flight tests. For the Data Processing Module the VME bus computer concept is adopted. The processed data is recorded on magnetic tape in a computer compatible format and is ready for analysis immediately after the flight. In the paper, the measurement system for the production flight tests will be described with the emphasis on the hardware and software description of the Data Processing Module. Furthermore the use of the system in the operational phase and experience from the first few flight with the system in the Fokker 50 and Fokker 100 aircraft will be given.
