The company’s sixth generation of recorders has received FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO) Authorization. It is a reduced-weight and improved version of the previous model and meets all of the latest certifications and requirements, including ED-112A compliance, allowing operators to fly around the world.

Five model options available

The KAPTURE product line includes five model options, offering a customized recording solution:

•          CVFDR-1650 (Combined CVR and FDR unit)

•          CVFDR-1650R (Combined CVR and FDR unit with embedded RIPS)

•          CVR-1651 (Baseline CVR)

•          CVR-1651R (CVR with embedded RIPS)

•          FDR-1652 (Baseline FDR)

The CVR and CVFDR models each offer a patented internal Recorder Independent Power Supply (RIPS) option.

Light weight and fast download speed

A new, versatile Flight Archive Ground Maintenance PC Tool allows for faster downloads and field-loadable software updates, paired with improved download speeds from the CVR/FDR itself, and removing the need for a Quick Access Recorder.

Additionally, a new lithium-free 90-day Underwater Locator Beacon (ULB) is included, which does not require special reports, issue papers or dangerous goods shipping.

Dror Yahav, UA CEO, said: “As part of our continuous investment in the company’s product lines, we are proud to introduce our new line of KAPTURE CVR/FDR. While complying with the latest FAA/EASA requirements and regulatory-related improvements, KAPTURE was designed with operators’ best interests in mind, factoring in weight, ease of installation, and data download requirements.

“Each model offers the utmost in reliability with high MTBF and is backed by UA’s world-renowned customer support. The KAPTURE models offer all the features and benefits of our fifth generation CVR/FDR product line with reduced weights, plus many improvements and enhanced capabilities.”
