contents We study two hybridization algorithms used for the combination of a quantum inertial sensor based on atom interferometry with a classical inertial sensor for onboard acceleration measurements. The first is based on the direct extraction of the interferometer phase, and was previously used in seaborne and airborne gravity measurement campaigns. The second is based on the combination of three consecutive measurements and was originally developed to increase the measurement range of the quantum sensor beyond its linear range. After comparing their performances using synthetic data, we implement them on acceleration data collected in a recent airborne campaign and evaluate the bias and the scale factor error of the classical sensor. We then extend their scope to the dynamical evaluation of other key measurement parameters (e.g. alignment errors). We demonstrate an improvement in the correlation between the two accelerometers' measurements and a significant reduction of the error in the estimation of the bias of the classical sensor.
