Aerospace flight-test programs generate massive telemetry streams in IRIG 106 Chapter 10 format, but traditional pipelines delay analysis until post-flight decoding is complete. A modern real-time pipeline using InfluxDB 3 addresses this by streaming decoded Chapter 10 data through five stages: acquisition, decoding, streaming ingestion, processing/downsampling, and query/visualization. InfluxDB 3's columnar storage, Python Processing Engine, SQL querying, and Parquet/Arrow integration allow engineers to spot anomalies mid-flight, reduce redundant test runs, and feed ML pipelines — all while maintaining IRIG 106 compliance as a source-of-truth record.
