[0016] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] The branch base client serves as the core node for data collection and primary analysis. Its modules are divided into the following divisions: the homepage display module dynamically presents real-time flight data statistics, over-limit event warnings, and mission progress, and integrates a visual dashboard to support rapid status perception; the data upload module receives aircraft raw data (such as ADS-B, airborne sensor logs, flight control recorders, etc.) through API interfaces or batch imports, and is compatible with multiple formats such as JSON, CSV, and binary streams. It also supports breakpoint resuming and data integrity verification; the file screening module automatically eliminates invalid data based on preset rules (such as integrity verification, abnormal timestamp filtering, and data segment continuity detection), and marks suspicious segments for manual review through a data quality scoring mechanism; the over-limit analysis module calls a dynamic threshold library (such as altitude deviation of ±50 meters, speed exceeding 10% Vne, overload exceeding 1.5G and other aircraft model differentiation parameters) trigger multi-level alarms in real time, and generate preliminary event labels by combining timestamps and spatial coordinates; the data association module integrates flight data with real-time meteorological information (such as wind shear warnings) and airspace dynamics (such as temporary restricted area coordinates) connected to the external data source module through a spatiotemporal alignment algorithm to build a multi-dimensional analysis context; the map track restoration module maps latitude and longitude data into three-dimensional tracks based on the GIS platform, overlays airspace restriction layers and terrain elevation models to achieve conflict detection, and generates a track deviation heat map; the visual restoration module uses the aircraft three-dimensional model library and scene rendering engine to reconstruct the flight process playback with ambient light and shadow effects; the instrument restoration module dynamically reproduces the cockpit instrument configuration by parsing bus data, and supports frame-level synchronization verification of operation sequences and instrument responses; the flight phase module uses the hidden Markov model (HMM) to automatically identify takeoff, climb, cruise, approach and other phases, and associates the standard operating procedures (SOPs) of each phase for compliance comparison; the parameter curve profile module provides multi-parameter spatiotemporal matrix analysis, supports heading angle-bank-throttle curve coupling analysis and Drill down to anomaly points in profiles; the safety reporting module integrates primary analysis results and automatically generates pre-processed reports containing timelines of key events and spatial distribution maps; the monitoring engine development module opens a rule configuration interface, allowing users to customize analysis strategies such as flight phase division rules and limit violation determination conditions through a drag-and-drop logic editor.

The cockpit customization module has a built-in PowerBI-level visualization engine, which supports the construction of cross-level KPI dashboards (such as regional risk heat maps and Sankey diagrams for accident rate trend predictions per thousand flights) by dragging and dropping, and implements permission isolation for multi-level leadership views based on LDAP directory services. After the processed data is verified for consistency in time and space (Checksum verification + digital signature), it is distributed to each terminal through the Kafka message queue, and a hash value is written to the blockchain evidence storage platform to ensure audit traceability, ultimately forming a closed-loop processing system covering the entire life cycle of data, ensuring that the entire process from raw data access to decision support output is safe, controllable, and accurately aligned in time and space.

[0021] The college center client includes a homepage display module, a wireless transmission module, an icon customization module, a monitoring engine management module, a reporting engine management module, a basic data management module, a feedback management module, a data upload module, a file screening module, an over-limit analysis module, a data association module, an external data source module, a flight data filter, a map track restoration module, a visual restoration module, an instrument restoration module, a flight phase module, a parameter curve planing module, a safety report module, a monitoring engine R&D module, an equipment management module, and a user management module.

[0022] The college center client serves as the hub for rule management and global monitoring.

The map trajectory restoration module builds a national airspace digital sandbox based on the Cesium engine, supporting multi-base flight flow density visualization and airspace conflict prediction (Monte Carlo simulation). The visual restoration module uses Unity3D high-precision modeling to achieve multi-person collaborative replay and deduction with real-time weather rendering (rain, snow, and low visibility). The parameter curve profile module integrates Plotly. The visualization library supports multi-dimensional correlation analysis of control variables and flight status parameters (such as spectrum analysis of the phase relationship between collective pitch lever displacement and rotor speed); the monitoring engine R&D module provides a visual decision tree editor, allowing flight instructors to drag and drop to build special situation handling evaluation logic (such as wind shear recovery strategy scoring model); the equipment management module connects to the IETM interactive electronic manual system to realize the automatic correlation of airborne equipment calibration data and flight quality analysis; the user management module uses iris recognition + hardware dongle dual authentication to dynamically authorize data access scope according to the training stage (such as students can only see the data of the aircraft itself). The system connects various modules through a self-developed workflow engine (based on the BPMN2.0 standard) to build a fully automated pipeline from 5G data reception → real-time overlimit detection → multi-source data fusion → three-dimensional scene reconstruction → intelligent report generation. At the same time, the Hyperledger-Fabric blockchain platform is used to realize the tamper-proof storage of key data, forming a closed-loop management system covering training quality assessment, rule iterative optimization, and safety situation analysis. The leadership cockpit includes a homepage display module, flight data filter, map track restoration module, visual restoration module, instrument restoration module, flight phase module, and parameter curve profile module. The leadership cockpit focuses on decision support. The flight data filter supports natural language queries (such as "show models with an overlimit rate greater than 5% this month") and uses ElasticSearch to achieve second-level responses. The map track restoration module integrates the Cesium engine to achieve high-precision three-dimensional situation display and can trace airspace occupancy heat maps of historical missions. The parameter curve profile module uses D3.js to draw multi-parameter linkage curves (such as altitude-speed-rudder deflection angle), supports keyframe annotation and comparative analysis, and the data dashboard is updated in real time through a microservice architecture to ensure the timeliness of decision-making. The pilot side includes an opinion module, flight data filter, map track restoration module, visual restoration module, instrument restoration module, flight phase module, and parameter curve profile module. The pilot side focuses on individual ability assessment. The visual restoration module reconstructs the flight scene using the Unity3D engine and supports VR mode playback of the control process. The flight phase module automatically divides the takeoff, landing, and cruise phases, and calculates the control score for each phase (such as the landing sink rate deviation value). The parameter curve profile module highlights the percentile ranking of personal historical data and generates targeted training suggestions. The data is connected to the training simulator interface to achieve a "flight-analysis-improvement" closed loop. The maintenance side includes a model manual management module, an equipment management module, a homepage display module, a wireless transmission module, a data upload module, and a comment module. The maintenance side focuses on equipment status management. The model manual management module is used to build a knowledge graph linking QRH manuals and SB notices, supporting AR glasses for troubleshooting. The equipment management module connects to the onboard health management system (HUMS) to predict component remaining life (such as engine vibration trend prediction based on an LSTM network). The wireless transmission module uses the LoRaWAN protocol to achieve low-power collection of sensor data within the hangar. Maintenance records are automatically linked to flight quality data, providing a cross-validation basis for fault tracing. Data collaboration is achieved across terminals through a server-side message queue. Pilot feedback triggers iterations of the server-side rule base. Maintenance data on the maintenance side reversely optimizes the flight quality assessment model, and cockpit leadership decisions are distributed to branch institutes for execution via the academy center. The entire system adopts a digital twin architecture, achieving a deep integration of physical flight and virtual analysis.
