Aeroflot to Use Teledyne's Wireless QAR to Automate Data Retrieval
Aeroflot Russian
Airlines will install Teledyne Controls' WQAR (wireless quick access recorder) on its
western fleet to supplement its existing flight data monitoring program.
Aeroflot wants to use
Teledyne's
Wireless GroundLink to automate the recording and transmission of their
flight data, and reduce the risk of loosing information that is more likely
when using manual procedures.
Wireless GroundLink uses
a proprietary protocol to record raw data during flight, which is
compressed, encrypted and then transmitted via cellular technology and the
Internet to the airline's or Teledyne's ground-based data center for
processing and analysis. The system typically makes the data available
within 10-15 minutes after an aircraft has landed, versus several days or
weeks with manual data retrieval. 03-31-2006.
