Combined Cockpit Voice

and Flight Data Recorder

on the AW139

AW139 Multi-role Emergency Medical Executive Transport

Law Enforcement Offshore Oil Opperations Search and Rescue

System One of two main avionics units,

outputs an ARINC 573/717 data

stream to the Multi-Purpose Flight

Recorder (MPFR), which acts as a

combined cockpit voice recorder

and flight data recorder (CVR/FDR)

Results

100% positive data retrieval feedback

Time and money saved with fast,

accessible accident data from a

small, light weight recorder

Customers receive easily accessible

flight data

MPFR is standard fit on all

AW139s

The System

All data on-board the AW139 is processed by

the Honeywell Primus Epic avionics suite. One of two main avionics units, outputs an ARINC 573/717 data stream that is the input to the MPFR, which acts as a

combined cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder (CVR/FDR). Over 700 parameters captured including • Those required for EUROCAE ED-55 and EDA-56A

CVR/FDR compliance

• Engine data • Avionics info • Install parameters • Fuel parameters MPFR records up to 20 hours of data at 512 words per

second in a continuous loop

Multi-Purpose Flight

Recorder (MPFR)

Reduce Weight and Complexity Less than 7.0lb (3.2kg) including

under water locator beacon

Dual purpose system for flight

data and crash recording

Lower Operating Costs Attaches directly to airframe

Fast Ethernet data recovery

Exceed data requirements Exceeds all EUROCAE ED-55 and

EDA-56A compliance

requirements

Complete data protection

through rugged design

The MPFR was selected because if its small size, low weight, combined CVR/FDR functionality, seamlessly integrated software and ease of use.

Result I

100% positive accident data retrieval feedback

from an installed base of over 500 MPFRs

• Even if the device was severely damaged or

submerged in water,

• Never lost flight data due to memory corruption.

• MPFR has never been returned to AgustaWestland

due to an operational fault or suspicious activity.

Result II Time and money saved with fast and accessible

accident data from a small, light weight

recorder

Light weight, compact and easy to install

• MPFR is 30% - 50% lighter than competing products

• Pre-configured, install requires a single cable

connection (that provides power and data)and 4

screws.

• Attaches directly to airframe and small enough to

fit in the tail

Fast accident data retrieval

• Don’t incur costs waiting for data retreival and

processing post accident

• Data is downloaded and processed at the crash

site via a10/100MB Fast Ethernet interface to a PC

using standard network hardware and protocols.

Saves time and money

High quality data flight

after flight

User friendly PGS data

analysis and visualization

Result III

Easily accessible flight data

• On-board data available in under two minutes

• Networked directly to a remote base for

diagnostics and fault reporting.

• AgustaWestland’s customers are able to collect,

access, and analyze data from the first flight.
