The Fortress OEM was designed to be compact and lightweight with a modular interface design to allow rapid customization for certain needs. This modularization can help reduce LRU count by integrating functionality into the recorder to further lower weight and free up space. Added functionality includes image recording, encryption, and additional data for structural and monitoring programs. 

Crash-Survivable Recording System

Mexican Mandate

 Texas Aerospace Technologies has partnered with Curtiss-Wright and Peregrine to deliver a cost-effective, video-based solution to meet crash-survivable recording system requirements in Mexico. 

Part 25 aircraft in the US operating in Mexican Airspace or Mexican registered aircraft over 5,500kg must be equipped with a Flight Data Recorder (FDR) with a Cockpit Voice Recorder by 12/31/22. The Federal Civil Aviation Agency in Mexico (Agencia Federal de Aviación Civil - AFAC) drafted the requirement based on ICAO Annex six documentation. 

The Class C AIR provides the ability to record many parameters traditionally captured through sensors installed throughout various aircraft locations and data streams such as ARINC 429. Delivering a compliant, affordable solution to meet the requirements for recorders as outlined in NOM-022-SCT3 2011 in accordance with CP AV-022 dated April 15, 2019.
 
Integrating the following equipment into the aircraft, we save you time and money: 

• Curtiss-Wright Flight Data Recorder (with cockpit voice recorder)
• Class C cockpit image recorder 
• Dukane Seacom Underwater Locating Device 

If your aircraft was manufactured prior to 2005, we offer a cost effective solution to help you meet the mandate.

TXA-201 Tri-Axial Accelerometer

Accelerometers are an essential component for flight data recorders and digital flight data acquisition units. The TXA201  utilizes modern MEMS technology to convert gravitational and inertial forces into a DC voltage output for the three-axis – vertical, longitudinal, and lateral. 

 

The AML STC developed offers an economical means of complying with the new AFAC and ICAO requirements. All equipment is ED-112A certified and includes an EASA (E) approved 25-hour cockpit voice recorder and (E)TSO-176a two-hour airborne image recorder. The system is certified for the Learjet 30 series, Learjet 45, Hawker 800/1000 series, and Citation X aircraft, with additional aircraft added this year.
