Outerlink IRIS System selected by Textron Aviation for US Navy B260 King Air trainers
The system provides a platform that records voice, video, and parametric aircraft data
Textron Aviation selected Outerlink’s IRIS system to meet the US Navy’s Condition-Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+) requirement for its new fleet of B260 trainers.
Outerlink has worked with the Textron Aviation Special Missions team to integrate the IRIS system into the B200 and B300 series airplanes as part of the US Navy’s new multi-engine training system (METS) fleet.
The IRIS system provides a recording platform that records voice, video, and parametric aircraft data from initial power on to power off. Unlike crash recorders, the IRIS system captures all engine data from start to post-shutdown. Customers can upload, process, and mine hundreds of data parameters with the fully integrated IRIS FASTARS Cloud using a simple SD card in the IRIS control head.
“In our search for systems to satisfy the Navy’s CBM+ we found the Outerlink IRIS system not only met the requirement but exceeded it with added features that will be of great benefit to not only the METS program but King Air customers globally,” said Textron Aviation Defense Program Manager Michael Chavez.
