L3’s FA2100 family of solid-state cockpit voice and data recorders offers proven reliability and performance for fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft operating in virtually all civil and military environments. These versatile systems are compact, lightweight, inexpensive to operate and provide maximum high-quality collection and storage of critical information in flight. The FA2100 is optionally available as either a stand-alone Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) or a dedicated Flight Data Recorder (FDR). For military applications, the unit can be optionally outfitted for Night Vision Goggle (NVG) operations.

• Model No.F3000
• SizeARINC 600 5 MCU
• Height7.64 in. (19.4 cm)

The F3000 Flight Data Acquisition Unit (FDAU) is designed for general aviation, business aircraft and unique mission aircraft that require a stand-alone ARINC 747 FDAU or a supplementary FDAU for expanded parameter conditioning. The F3000 FDAU converts digital and analog aircraft inputs into a standard ARINC 717747 data stream that is compatible with all ARINC 717747 flight data recorders.

• Width5.5 in. (140 mm)
• Height10.5 in. (267 mm)

L3’s lightweight Portable Interface (PI) is a simple yet sophisticated handheld portable interface device that gives operators the ability quickly and effortlessly retrieve data from FA2100 recorders. The user interface – a seven-key keypad and an eight-line display – allows stand-alone ability to perform a variety of data retrieval functions critical to operational effectiveness.

• ADS-B Out1090 MHz Mode S ES
• ADS-B In978 MHz UAT

L3’s patented Lynx family of ADS-B transponders goes well beyond the capabilities of a typical system by offering an array of new-generation features and capabilities. For example, the Lynx NGT-9000 introduces the convenience of touchscreen control. It operates like your favorite tablet or smartphone, displaying traffic, weather or terrain via Lynx’s unique resistive touch screen, which improves key selection, especially during turbulent conditions. It’s a giant leap forward in ease of operation.

L3’s Series 3 PCCF Card Ethernet NAS Data Transfer Units (DTU) provide a compact, cost-effective, self-contained system to store and retrieve data from industry standard FLASHATA cards over a 10100 ethernet network link. PCCF card capacities from 64 MB to 64 GB.

• Discrete Outputs8
• Availability7.6 lb. (3.45 kg)

L3’s AFIRS 228 Iridium Global Communications System provides aircraft crew with reliable, secure voice and data services for ATC, AOC and AAC communications, using Iridium’s global satellite network. The automated flight information and reporting system, which enables Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) operations, is available today.

• Power32 Watt Typical
• Dimensions2 MCU (7.64 in. (h) x 2.27 in. (w) x 12.76 in. (L))
• Availability8.5 lb. (3.86 kg)

The TAWS+ Terrain Awareness Warning System is an advanced terrain prediction and avoidance technology that provides superior functionality in a 2-MCU Line Replaceable Unit. In applications where an ACSS integrated traffic management system (T²CAS®, T³CAS®) is not needed, TAWS+ is the safer terrain solution.

• Availability2.5 lb. (1.13 kg)

Weather threats happen fast, but Stormscope systems are just as fast. Stormscope quickly and accurately provides real-time, flight-critical information about lightning and associated weather hazards such as turbulence and wind shear. Stormscope is unique in its ability to detect electrical activity as a storm builds, so it can show pilots which areas to avoid. For pilots who already have data link weather, the addition of a Stormscope system provides the complete weather picture as its happening.

• Power14V or 28 VDC electrical systems (10 to 32 VDC)
• AvailabilityNominal 2.1 lb. (0.95 kg) – Maximum 2.75 lb. (1.25 kg)

L3’s Next-Generation Electronic Standby Instrument System — ESI-500 — is one of the most advanced standby instruments designed specifically for piston and turboprop aircraft and helicopters. The compact unit is scalable and comes standard with altitude, attitude, slipskid, vertical speed and aircraft track.

The SafeRoute® suite of software applications uses Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) technology to increase safety, efficiency and throughput for flight operators. Capabilities include In-Trail Procedures (ITP), CDTI Assisted Visual Separation (CAVS) and Surface Area Movement Management (SAMM). These functions offer a broad range of operational benefits, including fuel savings that result from flying more direct routes, as well as safety that comes from a moving map display with own-ship and traffic position in the air and on the ground.
