Cockpit Voice and Flight Data Recorders

The award-winning line of compact, lightweight cockpit voice and flight data recorders have been designed to meet all current regulations (including 25-hour voice/datalink recording) and are deployed globally. These flight recorders can be customized quickly and can help reduce LRU count by integrating additional functionality into the recorder. Added functionality includes image recording, encryption, and additional data for structural and monitoring programs.
