Vector Aerospace, a global independent provider of aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, has added EASA certification to its Cockpit Voice and Flight Data Recorder (CVFDR) FAA STC applicable to AS332 C, L and L1 helicopters. Vector’s new CVFDR STC further enhances the mission capability profile of the venerable AS332L helicopter platform and is one of the only FAA and EASA approved CVFDR retrofit solutions available on the retrofit market. The CVFDR upgrade features a light-weight solid, low power consumption state-of-the-art CVFDR with an underwater acoustic beacon and a six year battery-life warranty. A digital flight data acquisition unit is also included as part of the system. The CVFDR is capable of recording over 25 flight data parameters with integrated optional Recorder Independent Power Supply (RIPS), requiring no additional wiring.
