How lightweight crash-protected ED-155 recorders can boost safety in light aircraft aviation A quick overview of the current situation Safety is one of the most important topics in aviation. The regulations are very tight in this segment because a small error could trigger a big catastrophe and the risk of human injury is way higher than in other type of transports. Even if there is no human harm, every incident damages the whole industry. For a long time, the Light Aircraft industry was somehow under the radar and far less strict rules applied in this area. This is now changing, and it’s changing...

ED-155: The public opinion is already one step ahead. Light aircraft operators have to act now. In common passenger aircrafts, Flight Data Recorders and Cockpit Voice Recorders have been mandatory for a long time. People generally think all aircrafts, no matter which type, have installed a black box, with which all the information about a journey is collected and can be investigated after incidents. It is rarely known that this does not yet apply to light aircraft and light helicopters. Why is there still reluctance among some operators and pilots? The technology is still assumed to be costly...

Why cameras are so important for crash-protected ED-155 recording solutions Fully compliant all-in-one solutions A partnership of proven sensor/recorder experts and camera experts with specific aerospace know-how can be the perfect basis for high performance all-in-one ED-155 recording solutions. What is the flight data and cockpit recorder recording? Flight-data is stored together with high quality cockpit voice and video data in a crash-protected memory (CPM). Flight Data Recorders (FDR) record information such as altitude, airspeed, heading, and other aircraft parameters, many times per second....

Versatile use: interesting use cases beyond ED-155 Crash-protected recording solutions not only fulfill the ED-155 and ETSO–2C197 requirements, but can also bring additional practical benefits for numerous actors in the area of light aircraft aviation. Flight schools can use the solution to intensify their training. Due to the installed sensors, it can deliver instructive data for training purposes. Realtime information and vision give the chance to perform tests and in that way being safer and more confident while flying. Tests, results, and training can be checked and evaluated after the flight....

ED-155 CRASH-PROTECTED RECORDING Kappa 0 The latest high profile accidents involving aircraft which are currently not required to carry cockpit voice or data recorders are bolstering accident investigators desires to have standardized recorders on that class of aircraft. ICAO recently submitted a proposal, the mentioned EU Regulation 2019/1387, to require ED-155 recorders to be fitted. EUROCAE ED-155 is part of working group 77 consisting of Accident Investigators, Regulatory Agencies, OEM’s, System Manufacturers, Industry Groups. ED-155 regulation responds to a need for improved recording of...

History and regulations Dive in deeper into the topic? FDRs, ADR for accident data recorder, are electronic devices employed to record and collect data of any system on an aircraft. The documented data by this device is used for accident and incident investigation. FDR together with CVR, help accident investigators to determine the reasons and sources of the event and moreover, give the chance to authorities to understand what really happened and to help mitigate future incidents and risks. The results of the findings might lead to a recommendation by the regulator or in some cases also to an...

US Regulation Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) is responsible for the US regulation. The National Transportation Safety Board has asked helicopter manufacturers to require visual and audio data recorders on commercial turbine-powered helicopters. NTSB declare three urgent recommendations and led the FAA to issue an emergency airworthiness directive affecting an entire fleet of helicopters. H. R. 7274 regulation. The NTSB formally recommended in 2004 that passenger helicopters be equipped with a Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) and two years later they also recommended that helicopters...
