Honeywell/Curtiss-Wright Team On 25-Hour CVR/FDR

News Discussion
1

Honeywell and Curtiss-Wright corporations announced today (November 12) they are collaborating on developing a combination cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight data recorder (FDR) with 25 hours of recording time. The HCR-25 is now available for certain Boeing and Airbus airliners in response to a mandate from the 2024 FAA Reauthorization Act.

I’m bemused that it is in the form factor of old CVR and FDR for large airplanes (an ARINC standard). Hopefully there’s a more compact version for smaller aircraft. (There are processing electronics in the big base but they are small.)

I just hope they don’t depend on Li-ion batteries for power loss backup…
