Flightcell are pleased to announce their new SmartHUB & Camera that are scheduled for release in early 2022. The SmartHUB is a state-of-the-art audio, video and data recording hub, and an enabler for USB/IP powered devices.
The Flightcell SmartHUB and optional Flightcell Camera have been developed to exceed the FENZ Operational Service Specifications (ATS1201), specifically article 5.1.1 Aircraft Equipment. Whereby all rotorcraft that provide services to government agencies (including FENZ and DOC) must have equipped a cockpit video, audio and data recorder. While the FENZ directive states a cockpit recorder must be installed by 01 November 2021, Flightcell understand that operators may install at a later date within an agreed grace period if they can prove intent to comply with the FENZ directive.
The SmartHUB is easy to install with various mounting options and does NOT require an STC. Additionally, the SmartHUB and Camera can be installed as Standalone Role Equipment under AC43-14 as a minor alteration.
The SmartHUB delivers operators several key benefits:
• Recording hub for video, audio, and flight data, an effective tool for post-flight analysis and flight optimisation
• Conforms with FENZ ATS1202 5.1.1 for cockpit video, audio and data recording
• Simple installation - no STC required
• USB hub and ethernet ports
• Hardened SD card storage for flight data and video/audio recording
• Standalone unit or can be paired with Flightcell’s DZMx & DZMx PLUS for enhanced data transmission
• Optional compact and discrete HD1080P camera
• USB charging points for laptops, tablets, mobile and other USB devices
• Increased memory and USB expandability when linked to Flightcell DZMX or DZMx PLUS
• Optional Wi-Fi access point (when paired with DZMx)
• Remote mounting with remote controls if space is an issue
• Remote control from the DZMx when fitted
