Objective Notes

I. System Description

A. Define the Purpose ofSSCVR

ShowSlide #1Purpose: An end item crash protected device used to store

30 minutes or 120 minutes of audio soundinformation for the purpose of determining thecause of incident or accident.

Note: Accident Readouts are only done by certifiedaccident investigators, such as the NTSB in theU.S.A.

ShowSlide #2

Matrix of CVR Model Part NumbersB. Identify the various CVR partnumbers

C. Discuss PhysicalCharacteristics of SSCVRs

ShowSlide #3

E. Discuss ElectricalCharacteristics of SSCVRs

ShowSlide #5

Matrix of CVR Electrical Characteristics

F. Determine Location ofrecorder in Aircraft

Note: For long term reliability it is recommended thatrecorders be mounted within the vibration mountin an upright position (vertical as viewed from thefront) in a heated, pressurized area in a fuselagelocation, as far aft as practicable.

III. Recorder Features

A. Internal BITE (Pre-flightCheck)

State &Discuss:

A Pre-flight Functional Check procedure isaccomplished prior to each flight to assure themission readiness of the CVR.

1. Test Tone ShowSlide #12

Show matrix comparing Test Tone, Bulk Erase &CVR Fault Indicator

2. Bulk Erase

3. CVR Fault Indicator

B. Maintenance State: The CVR maintenance philosophy is as follows:

(a) A100S - costly traditional component-level(test point analysis) troubleshooting &repair.

(b) A200S - replacement board-leveltroubleshooting & repair.

(c) FA2100CVR - economical fault codeanalysis board-level troubleshooting &repair.

State: The FA2100CVR maintenance program wasdesigned so that if the recorder should fail, therepair can be accomplished with:(a)(b)(c)(d)(e)(f)

Minimal EquipmentMinimal Technical ExpertiseMinimal Down TimeMinimal Cost To The UserMinimal Spare Stock PartsMinimal Paperwork Warranty

C. Reliability State: The reliability figures for each succeeding CVRhas improved:(a) A100S - good - exceeded old electro-

mechanical tape-based A100/A100A CVRs(b) A200S - better - close to plug-in & forget

(c) FA2100CVR - superior - plug-in & forget:MTBF calculated at > 25,000 hrs.MTBUR field reported at > 40,000 hrs.

D. Review Warranty Agreement ShowSlide #13

Slide Warranty Example

Notes: All parts and maintenance is warranted for 5 yearsfrom date of shipment.In the case of OEMs, for example, Boeing Aircraft,the warranty begins on the date of delivery, not toexceed six years.
