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) 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, 

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.

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, and additional aircraft.

Integrating the following equipment into the aircraft, we save you time and money:

• Curtiss-Wright Fortress Flight Data Recorder/CVR/Class-C Airborne Image Recorder
• Cockpit area camera
• Cockpit area microphone
• Recorder CCU
• TXA-201 Accelerometer
• STC Data and Right To Use letter

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.
