The WayTrac MDR is a small, economical, self-contained recorder for logging aircraft motion directly onto large capacity
SD Cards that are conveniently transferred to computers for archiving, graphical flight reconstruction and analysis.
The WayTrac MDR weighs only 14 ounces and mounts in a standard 2.25" instrument hole, yet it has a full suite of sensors for
recording every aspect of aircraft motion.
Installation may be as simple as mounting and supplying fused power.
Pitot/static connections are optional and may use a dedicated Pitot/static probe where regulatory issues exist.
Although priced for general aviation, the WayTrac MDR sports a wide range of
features for commercial owners who are concerned about safety and may be considering
Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA) programs.
The WayTrac MDR has many applications, including:
- Incident and Accident Analysis
- Flight Operations Quality Assurance
|
- Aircraft Use Monitoring
- Flight Reconstruction
|
- Flight Optimization
- Pilot Training
|
The WayTrac MDR may record some or all of the following:
- GPS time
- GPS latitude
- GPS longitude
- GPS altitude
- GPS ground speed
- Airspeed
|
- Acceleration in 3 axes
- Rotation rates in 3 axes
- Magnetic heading
- pressure altitude
- Cabin pressure
- Outside air temperature
|
- Engine (cabin) noise level
- External switch inputs (4)
- External switch or logic inputs (4)
- External analog inputs (4 at 0-3.3V)
- Pilot event markers
