Abstract

This paper describes the advances in the AlliedSignal flight data acquisition and management systems (FDAMS) product line. AlliedSignal´s advanced FDAMS integrates the functionality of the ARINC 717 digital flight data acquisition unit (DFDAU), aircraft condition monitoring system (ACMS), PCMCIA interface, smart access recorder (SAR), digital ACMS recorder (DAR) and quick access recorder (QAR) into a single line replaceable unit for ARINC 700 series aircraft. The mandatory DFDAU function supports both the latest 4X and 1X retrofit data frames. The FDAMS provides a user-configurable, single hardware and system/application software solution for multiple aircraft types and customer configurations
