With the proliferation of data
rich systems such as TAWS, ADS-B
and Cockpit Video Recorders there is an increasing
opportunity to capture valuable flight data. This
data can be used for debrief, training and even for
incident analysis. In some sectors such as Helicopter
Emergency Medical Systems (HEMS) there is increasing
regulatory and operational
safety pressure to add a meaningful “flight
data recorder-like” system to the aircraft.
Flight data recorder systems,
especially crash survivable ones, are heavy and expensive.
FreeFlight Systems has developed an elegant solution
- protect the memory, not the recorder.
FreeFlight Systems is launching
a family of rugged Mass Memory Units in two classes
- one that is crash proof, fire proof (1000 degrees
for 1 hour), waterproof and capable of withstanding
rifle/automatic weapons fire; and a smaller, nearly
identical one, but able to withstand handgun fire
only. Both systems are available in memory capacities
ranging from 1 Gbyte (approximately one hour of video)
to 32 Gbyte.
In addition to the Mass Memory
Units, FreeFlight Systems has developed a Cockpit
Data Transfer System for applications that require
large data transfers to and from the aircraft. The
Dzus mounted system supports multiple aircraft interfaces
and features a removable, ruggedized solid state hard
drive which can be read/written using any SATA capable
device.
The units are DO-160 aircraft
qualified.
