Aircheck Introduces $499.00 Cockpit Recorder For Private
Pilots
AirCheck, Inc. has a new product that can take some of the
guesswork out of GA communications. Its new COCKPIT RECORDER is
designed for use in private aircraft.
"The COCKPIT RECORDER records all cockpit and off-air
communications," said Michael Arbuthnot, AirCheck’s Business
Director. "It comes with twelve minutes of continuous Air Traffic
Control recording. But because it does not record the time
between communications or ‘dead air’, the amount of
recording time can span from twelve to sixty minutes or more of
flying time."
ATC dialog is recorded
and stored as individual messages making playback simple. Just
press the forward or back button to hear or scroll through the
messages. Never miss a critical communication again.
AirCheck says this could save your life. "The unit resides
inline with your headphones so installation takes only seconds, and
no FAA certificate is needed," said Arbuthnot.
The COCKPIT RECORDER also comes with paperless, heads-up
checklists for standard and emergency procedures. It is
available preprogrammed for the owner’s specific aircraft, or
can be upgraded with the checklists for the 50 most popular
aircraft. This option is ideal for pilots who have multiple
aircraft or frequently rent different models. There is also
an auxiliary input jack for a portable MP3 or CD player with auto
muting. Power is supplied by an internal battery or an
optional DC adapter.
Arbuthnot went on to say, “The beauty of the COCKPIT
RECORDER is its ease of use which helps to alleviate cockpit stress
and reduce the chance of accidentally skipping a checklist
item. But the best part is not having to ask ATC to say
again.”
