Universal Avionics introduces an exciting new line of Cockpit Voice (CVR) and Flight Data (FDR) recorders. Featuring five model options, the CVFDR offers a combination of cockpit voice and flight data recording capabilities, as well as an internal Recorder Independent Power Supply (RIPS) option. With the flexibility to customize recording capabilities, the CVFDR truly meets the needs of any aircraft operator.

The all-new CVFDR was developed in compliance with the newest, most rigorous testing and crash survivability standards stipulated by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other aviation authorities around the world. Operators can now meet all published and emerging regulations for cockpit voice and digital flight data recording with the convenience of a small, lightweight unit. Weighing less than nine pounds with RIPS, Universal’s CVFDR is the lightest CVR/FDR combo unit available.

The CVFDR’s internal RIPS option provides a backup power source in the event of a main power failure and allows aircraft operators to meet the FAA’s latest RIPS requirement without the additional size, weight and complexity of an external RIPS unit. Universal’s unique proprietary technology gives you this capability without the headache of maintaining internal batteries.

The CVFDR provides twenty-five hours of flight data recording and interfaces with data downloader tools to allow quick download of data from virtually any aircraft between flights. The unit features an Ethernet interface for on-aircraft data downloading. All of these features combine to make the CVFDR the most advanced and convienent solution available today.
