A new flight data recording system has been created for aviation in Russia
This MCP-1 is a small-sized registration system with the presence of a combined registrar MP-1. A unit for registering flight information, a parametric recorder, and flight recorders are combined in a single building. This integration approach allows to reduce both the dimensions and the weight of the data recording system.
Certification tests were carried out using the MCP-1 on a Mi-8 helicopter (more precisely, the Mi-8MTV).
In addition to the aforementioned combined small-sized recorder, the MCP-1 includes an acoustic underwater beacon (PAM-6k), a microphone device (UMD-3), a control and indication panel PUI-3. The software MCP-1 can be modified for its use on absolutely any means of civil aviation. No additional hardware.
Unlike previous versions of flight information recording systems, this has a mass of about 5,2 kg. The information stream for reading data by a computer goes through the Ethernet bus 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX, the data transfer rate is 5 MB / s.
Flight information has received additional protection. The mentioned underwater acoustic beacon allows in case of emergency to detect the registration system with a high degree of accuracy.
In aviation on-board registration systems of the previous generation to date, many shortcomings have manifested themselves. Among other things - a high probability of losing a significant part of the data in the case of thermal, electromagnetic effects. In addition, this is the probability of loss of the writing modules themselves if it is at a depth. And also - a sophisticated search for recorders who are not located in a single building with a high degree of strength.
