Flight Telemetry Processor

Overview

My Flight Telemetry Processor is a C++ command-line application that parses, validates, and reports on simulated aircraft telemetry data. This project was designed to demonstrate object-oriented software development, file processing, validation logic, error handling, and Linux-based command-line execution.

Features

• Parses aircraft telemetry records from a CSV file
• Validates altitude, airspeed, heading, engine temperature, and status fields
• Detects invalid and warning-level telemetry records
• Calculates summary statistics for valid records
• Generates a text-based telemetry analysis report
• Uses a modular object-oriented design

Technologies Used

• C++
• Linux/macOS terminal
• Git/GitHub
• Makefile
• Object-Oriented Programming
• File I/O
• CSV Parsing
