In 1999, Avionica introduced the original miniQAR quick access recorder, the first ever miniature quick access recorder for aviation. Its solid-state reliability, 400 hour recording capacity, and ease of installation changed quick-access recording (and perhaps FOQA/FDM) forever. The next-generation miniQAR Mk II quick access recorder led the industry with over 5,000 worldwide installations, recording the data of many of the world’s airlines, militaries, and multinational corporations. And now, Avionica presents the miniQAR Mk III, packing more capability than any other QAR into the smallest of spaces.
Reliable Performance
Our solid-state System on Chip architecture has achieved a field proven MTBF of over 100,000 flight hours fleetwide for the miniQAR series of recorders, saving valuable maintenance dollars. Over 5,000 miniQAR quick access recorders are now flying, installed in nearly 100 aircraft types worldwide since 1999.
Flexible Recording
A variety of interface options are now available. Record up to two ARINC 717 (Harvard Biphase or Bipolar RZ) channels and up to three ARINC-429 channels (high and/or low speed). An EIA RS 422/429 programmable channel supports ACMS event recording/reporting. An EIA RS-232 receiver is also available.
Advanced Download Interface
Download options including Ethernet (via the RSU-II or COTS Laptop/Desktop), onboard Ethernet, and Wireless via secureLINK WiFi or 3G Wireless GSE Module (see back) enable operators to customize download methods to best fit FOQA/FDM programs and schedule requirements.
Easily Installed
STC’d on over 150 aircraft types, the Mk III installs on most aircraft with minimal alterations using our universal kit. Mounting trays for simple, rack-mount QAR replacement are now available with either ARINC 404 or 600 series connectors.
High Capacity
Our basic 2 GB models record up to 6,000 flight hours of ARINC 717 data. Upgrades to 64 Gigabytes are possible to handle dense ARINC 429 data recording requirements, as well as onboard NAS capability supported via 3G wireless.
Lightweight
All this capability still weighs only 6.5 oz / 185 gr.
