Cockpit Voice & Flight Data Recorder
The world’s smallest, lightest, and lowest power cockpit voice and flight data recorder designed for ED-112A Compliance.
FAA TSO APPROVED – SENTRY™ CVFDR
Cockpit Voice & Flight Data Recorder
The SENTRY Flight Data Recorder (CVFDR) was designed by combining standard features of existing CVFDRs with a new approach. Using a patent-pending, innovative memory insulation technique, the SENTRY offers a small size, low weight, and less power consumption than traditional CVFDRs in a modular and flexible architecture. This “software free” recorder allows for aircraft specific configurations as well as the addition of creative and useful expansion capabilities.
