What is a PPB file?

PPB files mostly belong to FAA CDR Data Playback Utility. PPB files serve more than one purpose. These files are used as radar playback files that store and replay radar data. This format is typically employed with specialized tools such as the FAA CDR Data Playback Utility to view radar tracks and data logs.
In some of instances, PPB files are project files designed to hold scheduling and planning information in an SQL format. They are associated with tools like Primavera P6 and Asta Powerproject. For more details on Asta Powerproject, visit this webpage.
When handling PPB files, consider the following tips:

Confirm whether the file is meant for radar playback or project management.

Open the file with the specific playback or project software.

Backup the file before making any modifications.

If unsure, inspect the file contents with a text or hex editor.
