GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.–(EMWNews)–GE-Aviation today announced it has completed qualification and has begun

delivery of its new enhanced airborne flight recorder (EAFR) for the

Boeing 787 aircraft.

“GE’s flight

recorder is the first to meet the new FAA regulations and we are

delighted to be on the Boeing 787 with this technology.”

said John Ferrie, President of GE’s Aviation

Systems. “The enhanced airborne flight

recorder is the newest in our recorder product family and includes

improved capabilities for safety investigators to find and remedy the

causes of incidents.”

The GE system has a greater recording capacity than existing recorders

and is the first to fully meet new Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

flight recorder regulations put in place in March of this year. The EAFR

system features network-connectivity that enables reconfigurable flight

data acquisition. It is also the first flight recorder to have a

recorder independent power supply which allows operation in the event of

a power failure. The EAFR has data link recording as mandated by the FAA

and a crash survivable memory which meets environmental requirements.

GE supplies the EAFR as part of the Rockwell Collins network

communications package for the Boeing 787 program. GE also supplies the

GEnx engine, fixed and moveable wing structures as well as landing gear

actuation and the common core system direct to Boeing for the 787

program.
