What is the main function of the ADS systems in the aircraft?

The primary function of the Aircraft Data Systems (ADS) is to acquire and manage flight data throughout various phases of flight. This encompasses gathering crucial parameters such as altitude, airspeed, attitude, heading, and other significant performance metrics that contribute to the overall safety and operational efficiency of the aircraft.

By collecting this flight data, the ADS also provides essential information for both immediate flight management and for post-flight analysis. It plays a critical role in enabling pilots to make informed decisions about aircraft performance and improving situational awareness during flight operations.

While engine monitoring, navigation and communication, and altitude and airspeed data collection are all essential aspects of an aircraft's overall performance, they do not encompass the broader role of gathering and processing flight data that ADS systems serve.
