Standalone Flight Data System (SFDS)

Standalone Flight Data System (SFDS): a flight data solution with its own power source that operates independently, without requiring any connection to the aircraft’s systems. As a portable standalone unit it helps retrieve, interface with, and support legacy or dedicated flight data recorder systems with ease.

Flight Data and Voice Recorders – Readout and Recording

Flight data with its own power – no connection to the aircraft required: SFDS

WHO IT' FOR

UAV and drone operators, experimental-aircraft test teams, flight schools and operators who want backup logging on manned aircraft.


THE PROBLEM

Connecting a recorder to aircraft systems adds integration work and approvals. A self-powered unit avoids

that.


HOW IT WORKS

  1. Mount the portable unit on the aircraft.
  2. It runs on its own battery, independent of aircraft systems.
  3. Flight data is saved automatically in CSV format on the SD card.

BENEFITS

  1. Own power source – fully independent of aircraft systems.
  2. Portable standalone unit; installable on small and large aircraft.
  3. Data saved as CSV – easy to open in standard tools.
  4. 5–6 hours of operation; recharges via Micro USB in about 4 hours.

FIT & COMPATIBILITY

  1. Ideal for: UAV and drone operations; experimental aircraft testing; backup logging on manned aircraft; educational and training flights.
