The AIMMS-20 probe is manufactured by Aventech Research Inc. and measures platform position, velocity, attitude, ambient temperature, static pressure, and the differential pressures from a 5-port hemispheric gust probe, and combines all these measured data into a calculation of the ambient winds. A detailed description of the AIMMS-20 specifications is available here. Note: The Aventech engineers use the aircraft-centric frame of reference common to aeronautical engineering, which defines z as down.
