Certified: Elliott Aviation Digital Flight Data Recorder

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."
