Duncan, KGB Team on FDR/CVR Data Integrity Service
Duncan Aviation and KGB Aviation Solutions have teamed to provide a new data analysis service that ensures FDRs and CVRs meet recording requirements.

Duncan Aviation and KGB Aviation Solutions have teamed to provide a new data analysis service that ensures flight data recorders (FDRs) and cockpit voice recorders (CVRs) meet recording requirements. Under the partnership, Duncan will use KGB’s Data Acquisition Retrieval Tool (Dart) that downloads data from most FDRs, analyzes it, and provides a comprehensive report of the anomalies found.

Based on the results of the analysis, Duncan Aviation’s technicians are able to help troubleshoot and fix anomalies cited in the report. The reports provide insight into the integrity of the FDR and CVR systems’ recording abilities, and data is presented in accordance with whatever rules the customer is flying under, including FAR Part 91 or 135, Canada’s CAR 625, EASA, and ICAO.
