Initially, the PyWingpod package was mainly build to handle data from the Wingpod of the ASK-16 motorized glider of the FU Berlin. However, due to the modular buildup of the package, functions within the different libraries can also be used to process data from other airborne platforms.

Functions and scripts within PyWingpod have been developed to:

a. load and process airborne five hole probe and meteo data, this includes
(1) 5 hole probe pressure sensor data (static pressure, dynamic pressure and the differential alpha and beta pressure),
(2) INS-GNSS data,
(3) Temperature and humidity data and (4) any auxillary data that you want to add to the time series/ data frame.

b. calibrate pressure sensor data from the five hole probe (mainly to correct for any effect of aircraft movement)

c. calculate a reliable wind vector based on the available data that are specified in a. and the calibration parameters, which are obtained in step b.
