Choose Simplified CSV for flight review and plotting with fewer columns. The output name ends in _simple.csv. As in Full CSV, the first three rows contain pilot and aircraft information, row 4 contains column names, and recorded measurements begin on row 5.
Aircraft attitude, speed, and position come from the inertial navigation system (INS). Headings and ground tracks in this output are magnetic. Use Full CSV or MATLAB when you need raw measurements, true heading and track, yaw rate, or more detailed sensor status.
UTC comes directly from the GPS receiver on Hub. Hub Plus uses a clock synchronized to the receiver’s one-pulse-per-second signal to timestamp samples between pulses. See Time information for details.
Always-present fields
Sys Healthy shows whether the Hub’s internal sensors report normal operation and its electronics temperatures are within limits. Initialized separately shows whether the navigation system has completed initialization. Full CSV includes an additional INS Healthy field for navigation-system health.
Batt Status is ok, warn, or low for the Hub battery. The remaining base columns are:
| CSV header | Description |
|---|---|
Initialized |
True when the navigation system has completed initialization. |

Optional sensor columns
Optional sensor columns appear when the recording contains a connected sensor that provides them. A sensor may have been connected for only part of the recording. Full CSV includes more detail about when sensors were connected and measurements were available.
| Group | When included and what the status means |
|---|---|
| Air data | Included when an external air-data source was connected. Airdata Healthy shows whether its temperature and pressure sensors, and any available outside-air-temperature (OAT) and angle-of-attack (AOA) sensors, report normal operation. Airdata Batt Status is ok, warn, or low. |
| OAT | Airdata OAT [C] appears when OAT was available from the connected air-data source. |
| AOA | Airdata AOA Type and Airdata AOA appear when AOA was available. Type is angle [deg] or pres ratio. |
| Calibrated airspeed | Airdata KCAS appears when calibrated airspeed was available. |
| Wind | Wind speed and magnetic direction appear when a wind estimate was available. |
| AGL | Included when an AGL source was connected. AGL Healthy describes sensor operation and temperature. Check AGL In Range separately where provided. AGL Batt Status is ok, warn, or low. AGL In Range is omitted when Stadia was detected. |
| Heart rate | Included when a heart-rate source was connected. |
| Analog inputs | Each external analog channel appears when connected. AIN0 Healthy describes sensor operation and temperature; AIN0 Batt Status is ok, warn, or low. The same applies to channels 1–3. |
The following tables describe the measurements available from each sensor group.
