The Global Positioning System (GPS) and velocity data were used to estimate flight load history. For the study, a SK60:072 aircraft equipped with and inertial measurement unit (IMU) and GPS receiver was used. It was suggested that the method of superimposing filtered IMU data from a reference aircraft shows promising results. It was also suggested that the number of occurrences using GPS data with superimposed higher frequency IMU data agrees well with the number of occurrences obtained using only the IMU data.
