Flight Archive Ground Maintenance Tool
UA's new, versatile Flight Archive Ground Maintenance Tool allows for faster data and audio downloads and field-loadable software updates with the KAPTURE CVR/FDR. The PC-based program can also be used to perform several maintenance and testing functions.
The interface uses an Ethernet connection between the CVR/FDR and the PC running the Flight Archive application. Flight Archive's current version runs on Windows 7 or newer (32-bit or 64-bit) operating systems with a 1 GHz CPU and 2 GB RAM.
Paired with improved download speeds from the CVR/FDR itself, and removing the need for a Quick Access Recorder (QAR), operators gain significant savings in time and maintenance costs.
