Installation Approved In Beechjet 400/400A/Hawker 400XP
Aircraft
Elliott Aviation today announced
that the Moline, Ill.-based business aviation services company has
received supplemental type certification (STC) from the FAA for the
installation of a Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) in a Beechjet
400/400A and Hawker 400XP aircraft.
The certification aircraft, a Beechjet 400, also received a new
Hawker 400XP interior and fresh paint at Elliott Aviation's
aircraft refurbishment center at Quad Cities International Airport
(MLI). Elliott Aviation is pursuing STC approval from the European
Aviation Safety Association (EASA) for the DFDR installation, and
hopes to secure certification in time for the European Business
Aviation Convention & Exposition (EBACE) in May.
A digital flight data recorder
receives information in serial data format in successive data
frames, and first circulates the information in a first-in
first-out (FIFO) sequence through a minor memory. That preserves
the data received over a most recent real time interval. The data
is then compressed to a smaller data base including periodic slow
interval samples and intermediate exceedance parameter samples
which are stored in a major memory for later retrieval.
"Our DFDR solution is another example of how we are applying our
in-house engineering and avionics expertise to create
customer-focused solutions," said Mark Wilken, Elliott Aviation
director of avionics sales and product development. "We are able to
install the DFDR quickly and efficiently and with minimal lead
time, which helps both buyers and sellers of these aircraft
complete the transaction in a timely manner."
