Complete Readout Services
with an Accent on Service.

Airworthiness authorities worldwide require periodic
readout and analysis of Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) data
in order to verify system integrity. In the past, the sole means
of compliance was a ground check, or removal of the recorder for
shipment to the OEM.
This involved costly labor, shipping charges, re -certification,
and spares costs.
We can ease this burden and keep you legal. By providing
equipment and services to read the recorder ON the aircraft, then
electronically transfer the data to our secure servers, Avionica
can drastically reduce the time and cost involved in performing
this mandatory activity. Our analysts use AVSCAN, our acclaimed
Flight Data Analy sis software, to quickly and accurately interpret
your flight data and present any anomalies.
Committed. Data analysis
is an integral component of our operations. As OEM of the RSU, miniQAR,
and AVSCAN, were keenly interested in the science of data
recor ding and related technology. For the past 10 years, weve
worked with airlines, OEMs, the US military, several regulatory
agencies, and even NASA to improve the capabilities of our equipment,
software, and procedures. These efforts are reflected in the qua
lity of our readout services.
Educated. Services personnel
are all degreed Electrical or Aeronautical engineers.
Several Readout Services personnel are licensed pilots. Services
personnel undergo
routine training, reviewing new data frames as applicable to our
customers, as well as
new software releases.
Experienced. Services
personnel have over 100 years of combined experience, including
years of service at Boeing, McDonnell - Douglas, Sundstrand, Martin-
Marietta, TWA, and Gables Engineering. And with customers the world
over, and several hundred aircraft under contract, weve seen
most problems - across most fleets.
Networked. We constantly
interact with our OEM customers (e.g. Boeing, Embraer, Collins,
Rolls Royce, Teledyne) and strategic partners to resolve parametric
anomalies on behalf of our mutual airline customers.
Objective. Were
neither directly employed by our clients, nor stand to gain by selling
repair and re -certification services. We report the facts.
Stable. Our services
group has seen N O turnover in 8 years. When customers call for
answers, they speak with an individual who KNOWS their fleet.
Available. Your Airline
doesnt sleep
neither do we. 24/7/365 AOG support is
part of all readout contracts. Avionica maintains redundantly available
duty personnel at all times. Duty personnel can be reached toll
-free for maximum availability to your staff.
Responsive. In the case
of an airline equipped with our data collection devices, our team
can receive the data quickly, analyze only the relevant parameters,
and supply answers
with backup documentation to airline maintenance and engineering
departments, quickly and at all hours.
Economical. In addition
to providing a mandatory service at very competitive rates,
experience indicates that approximately 8% of readouts received
will be maintenance or incident related. We often investigate engine
exceedances and isolated system failures. A single engine saved
can often pay for a years worth of service.
The biggest savings accumulate by dele ting removal,
re- certification, logistics, and spares costs from the equation.
A rough estimate demonstrates an ROI of less than one year in most
cases, even when including the purchase cost of an Avionica RSU,
at a small airline:
