A 25-hour all-in-one cockpit voice and flight data recorder jointly developed by Honeywell and Curtiss-Wright has gained certification for the Boeing 737, 767, and 777. Operators of the Boeing models can order the Honeywell Connecter Recorder-25 (HCR-25) directly from the aircraft OEM or Honeywell. The certification also marks the introduction of the first Curtiss-Wright product for the three airliner types, the companies said.
Based on Curtiss-Wright’s compact and lightweight Fortress CVR and the Honeywell Flight Recorder 5, the HCR-25 meets the latest EASA requirements for 25-hour cockpit voice recording for aircraft weighing more than 27,000 kilograms (59,525 pounds). In addition to fulfilling mandates, the HCR-25 permits real-time data streaming and cloud-upload capabilities via Honeywell’s Connected Aircraft software, which in turn allows for remote retrieval of data from the aircraft for storage or analysis.
