Appareo Systems is here promoting its Alerts (aircraft logging and event recording for training and safety) flight data monitoring solution. The system uses an onboard, lightweight camera and accompanying sensors to allow users to replay flight parameters recorded during the flight and review deviations from company and regulatory standards. The main component of the Alerts system, the Vision 1000 hardware, is offered as standard equipment on a growing number of helicopters, notably Airbus Helicopters light singles and twins. The next STC should be for the Bell 407 single.
“The only thing Vision 1000 needs from the aircraft is power,” sales manager Casey DeLanghe told AIN. The unit can be fitted under the cockpit's ceiling and includes a GPS receiver and electronic gyroscopes and accelerometers, as well as a microphone and high-resolution camera. The Vision 1000’s small size makes it easy to install, according to the company.
