Honeywell Connected Recorder-25

For commercial airlines, cargo, and business jets, Curtiss-Wright and Honeywell jointly developed the Honeywell Connected Recorder-25 (HCR-25) CVR-25 and FDR-25 (cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder respectively).

Both Curtiss-Wright and Honeywell have over 60 years of experience developing flight recorders, and the partnership leverages joint capabilities to deliver superior audio clarity, data streaming, and open access for airline operator data.

Based on Curtiss-Wright’s compact, lightweight Fortress™ CVR technology, the HCR-25 is compliant with the latest FAA regulations and requirements for 25-hour CVRs and those already in place from EASA and in numerous regions around the globe, including Canada, Mexico, and Singapore. The HCR-25 provides four channels of audio recording, all with wideband performance, providing investigators with superior clarity over other recorders.

The HCR-25 FDR surpasses the requirements of each of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) defined flight recorder types. The HCR-25 FDR, when coupled with Honeywell’s Aspire SATCOM system, adds real-time data streaming to support the ICAO Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety (GADSS) initiative and timely recovery of data requirements. It can record and store more than 3,500 hours of data in crash-protected memory before needing to overwrite the oldest data collected. The HCR-25 also provides a 25hour CPDLC datalink recorder (DLR) function.
