Recording Starts Automatically When The Helicopter Is Powered Up

The use of in-cockpit video is accelerating... and for a number of good reasons... especially in terms of flight training and other commercial operations where documentation and the ability to review a flight, can have a number of significant benefits.

Robinson's Cockpit Video Camera introduced at Heli Expo 2020 is now optional on R22/R44 helicopters and standard on R66 helicopters ordered after 15 January 2021. 
 
Securely mounted in the ceiling for minimal vibration and optimal field of view, the 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) video camera records video, intercom audio, radio communications, and GPS position to a removable 128 GB USB flash drive. Recording starts automatically when the helicopter is turned on and stops when it is turned off. Recording video and/or audio to the flash drive can be independently controlled with separate switches.

The flash drive, supplied with each camera, stores approximately 10 hours of video and when the drive is full, the newest video automatically overwrites the oldest video. Recordings can be used as a training tool, maintenance aid, or aerial-tour souvenir to share with family and friends.

The system is now standard on R66 helicopters, and available on new R22/R44 helicopters  for $2,500 US.
