Avionica Debuts miniQAR Mk III Quick Access Recorder at Singapore Air Show

MIAMI, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Avionica is proud to announce that our miniQAR Mk III has been added to our miniQAR AML (Approved Model List) STC.

Avionica invented the miniature QAR, and is an industry leader in QAR technology, with over 5,000 worldwide installations, in nearly 100 aircraft types, recording the data of airline, corporate, and military operators, worldwide.  And miniQARs are known to be exceptionally reliable.

"Our miniQAR Mk III is now available for immediate shipment," said Avionica Vice President Stylian Cocalides. "We will be debuting the product at the Singapore Air Show, in cooperation with our SE Asian reseller, APAC Aero Dynamics, Subsidiary of Miltrade Technologies Pte, Ltd.. Please visit us in booth B07."  

"A variety of interface options are available in our 3rd generation miniQAR," indicates Stylian. "Operators can now record two ARINC 717 (Harvard Biphase or Bipolar RZ) channels and up to three ARINC-429 channels (high and /or low speed) to supplement legacy flight recorder data, which may be insufficient to support a comprehensive FDM/FOQA program. Multiple programmable EIA RS 422/232 channels are available to support ACMS event recording. A bi-directional Ethernet port rounds out the interfaces."

"But the most anticipated miniQAR Mk III option is the 3G wireless download module." The module attaches to the face of the miniQAR and, when on ground, performs the functions of a 3G wireless gateway. "Recorded data may be routed worldwide, and Ethernet connected devices can be uploaded and downloaded as well. The possibilities are very exciting."

miniQARs are easy to install; Most Boeing aircraft are already provisioned, while others require minor alterations which can easily be accomplished overnight. Their low weight (approx. 250 grams) can save tens of thousands of pounds of fuel over an aircraft's lifetime when compared to installation of a traditionally sized QAR.

Other airborne products include secureLINK, the airborne 802.11 wireless gatelink router, and satLINK, the fully ARINC 741 compliant Iridium SDU.
