SferiRec CVR
Cockpit voice recorderThe challenge
The aviation industry faces challenges related to understanding the causes of accidents and incidents, which can arise from human error, miscommunication, or unforeseen circumstances.
To address these issues, cockpit voice recorders (CVRs) were developed to capture audio from the cockpit, providing a vital tool for investigation and safety enhancement.
CVRs serve several important purposes: In the event of an accident, CVRs provide crucial information that helps investigators understand the circumstances leading up to the incident. In addition, the data collected from CVRs can help to improve aviation safety by allowing airlines and regulatory bodies to analyze trends and identify areas for training or procedural improvements.
Cockpit Voice Recorders can also be used to review and analyze pilot performance, aiding in the development of training programs that enhance pilot skills and decision-making. In some cases, CVR data serves as evidence in legal proceedings related to aviation incidents.
Our solution
The SferiRec CVR is a cockpit voice recorder and a data link recorder (DLR) with a modular architecture in which
solid-state memory technology is used to store CVR audio data and DLR data on an integrated crash-protected memory module (CPM).
