Bell Certifies Flight Data Monitoring Device
Bell Textron Inc., a Textron Inc. company, recently announced the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the Installation of QuantiFLY, a new aircraft communication unit (ACU) powered by Truth Data, offering a low-cost, lightweight, and automatic flight data monitoring (FDM) solution. It is currently available for Bell 407GXi and Bell 429. Bell developed QuantiFLY with Appareo and to enable operators to affordably use the data to be actionable and drive safety.
“As innovators, Bell is continuously exploring advanced solutions to provide customers with smart helicopter technology to enhance their flight experience,” said Michael Thacker, executive vice president, Innovation and Commercial Business. “The introduction of Bell’s QuantiFLY will offer greater visibility into flight operations while integrating seamlessly with Bell’s current connected fleet offerings for our commercial aircraft.”
Bell selected Appareo Systems for connectivity hardware based on its proven track record for both worldwide cellular telematics and aircraft data monitoring. The device utilises cellular (4G LTE / 3G GSM) on the ground data transmission to offboard aircraft flight parameter and maintenance data via cloud for processing and analytics. Bell worked with Microsoft to build on its Azure cloud infrastructure to route data securely around the world. The data is then uploaded to Bell’s MissionLink, an innovative off-board data platform that delivers intuitive analysis.
MissionLink is the missing link between an aircraft’s data and greater aircraft productivity. It makes maintaining an aircraft effortless, turning unscheduled maintenance into a scheduled solution. MissionLink enhances aircraft, while providing operational and financial peace-of-mind.
Once registered, customers with BHVM / HUMS / IVHM systems installed do not need to take any additional steps to make the most of MissionLink.
Automatic Service
Bell collaborated with Truth Data to provide a scalable flight data analysis platform and benchmarking capabilities to better identify safety issues and reduce operator risks. Coupled with QuantiFLY, this provides a completely automatic FDM service.
QuantiFLY is offered as an aftermarket kit forward or retrofittable for legacy and new aircraft, analogue and digital through Aeronautical Accessories. It features dual-core ARM cortex A9 processors, 512 MB DDR3L RAM, 32 GB eMMC standard storage and LTE CAT 4 cellular radio with 3G/2G fallback. Furthermore, it offers bidirectional communication, 100BASE-TX 10/100 ethernet, discrete I/O, RS-422 and ARINC 429 RX (up to 10 Hz). It also has a inertial measurement unit and GPS, secure boot, low power mode, ultra-low power sleep mode and weighs less than two pounds.
