Confidence and efficiency of flight data analysis highly depends on access and reliability of in-flight recorded data. This latest technology, Quick Access Recorder, solves the practical problems of retrieving data for true operational value.
Curtiss-Wright Controls Integrated Sensing (CWCIS) Quick Access Recorders are designed using the latest storage technologies and electronic concepts to provide a highly reliable recorder that is simple to install and operate.
SSQAR has been designed to simplify installation and location onboard the aircraft. Attachment directly to the airframe in any orientation eliminates any additional mounting tray. A single MIL-C-38999 Series II rear connector is incorporated instead of the bulky ARINC 600 series interface.
Using the PCMCIA concept eliminates the need for a specialized and expensive download unit. Reading recorded flight data parameters utilizes a PCMCIA drive on a computer running standard Windows™ operating systems.
