analyze flight data for safety and preventative maintenance investigations. The units
as the FA2100 CVR and FDR
share the same common ground support equipment as the FA2100 Cockpit Voice
Recorder (CVR) and Flight Data Recorder (FDR) using the ARINC 747 flight data
output for connection to a Quick Access Recorder (QAR). This data helps accident
investigators as well as provides numerous parameters of data for Flight Data
Monitoring (FDM)/Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) supporting airlines
