3. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

3.1. System Description

The L-3 Communications FA2100 Cockpit Voice and Data Recorder (CVDR) System as
installed in the Cessna models 208/208B consists of one each FA2100 CVDR, area
microphone, GSD41 Data Concentrator Unit (DCU), 3-axis accelerometer, 5g impact switch,
flap potentiometer, and two audio summing amplifiers. The components are listed in Table 2.
The FA2100 CVDR is a single LRU that provides both cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight
data recorder (FDR) functions. The CVDR is housed in an international orange, ARINC
404A, - ATR short case with two reflective strips and meets the requirements of FAA TSO
C123a and C124a. An Underwater Locator Device (ULD), also referred to as an underwater
acoustic beacon, is mounted on the front of the CVDR and meets the requirements of FAA
TSO C121. The CVDR records 120 minutes of high quality audio on each of four audio
channels and 25 hours of flight data at a rate of 64, 128, or 256 words per second. A Ground
Support Equipment (GSE) connector is located on the front of the CVDR and is used to
download recorded audio and flight data to a readout device (portable interface, computer,
laptop, etc.). Reference Figure 1.

The accelerometer, summing amplifiers, and CVDR operate from 28Vdc supplied from the
aircrafts Electrical bus. Power to the CVDR first passes through the systems impact switch.
The impact switch interrupts power to the CVDR and stops the recording of data in the event
of a crash to prevent recording over the data recorded prior to the crash. The GSD41
operates from 28Vdc supplied from the aircrafts Avionics Bus 1.

3.2. System Operation

The L-3 Communications FA2100 Cockpit Voice and Data Recorder (CVDR) System
provides dual operational functions; cockpit voice recording (CVR) and flight data recording
(FDR).

The CVDR contains four designated audio channels that each record 120 minutes of high
quality audio. Channel one records all audio coming over the cabin and PA speakers.
Channel two records all incoming/outgoing audio from the copilots headset after being
passed through a summing amplifier. Channel three records all incoming/outgoing audio
from the pilots headset and cabin handheld PTT microphone after being passed through a
separate summing amplifier from that of the copilot. Channel four records all audio being
picked up by the area microphone located on the instrument panel, above the audio panel
bezel. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is provided to the CVDR via ARINC 429 from GIA1 and
recorded simultaneously with audio.

Flight data from the G1000 System is provided to the CVDR from the GSD41 Data
Concentrator Unit. PFD1 sends flight data, including flap position and accelerometer data
from the GEA, via Garmins proprietary High Speed Data Bus (HSDB), to the GSD41. The
data is then converted to ARINC 717 by the GSD41 and sent to the CVDR for recording.

The FA2100 CVDR initiates a built-in-test (BIT) function at power up that continuously
monitors the unit for fault conditions. In the event that a fault is detected, the CVDR will
trigger the annunciation of CAS advisory messages, CVD FAIL and/or FDR FAIL on the
G1000 display(s) via separate discrete I/Os dependent on the fault detected. The FA2100
CVDR System interface to the G1000 System is shown in Figure 2.

Recorded audio and flight data from the CVDR can be downloaded and analyzed using a
laptop. Attachment 5 shows the interface between the CVDR and a laptop containing ROSE
software version 3.8 or higher. The latest ROSE aircraft configuration file in accordance to
Cessna drawing 3931321 (file 3931321R0X) defines the recorded flight paramaters and is
necessary to properly interpret the data.

5. MAINTENANCE AND SPECIAL TOOLS

5.1. Maintenance FA2100 CVDR System

Preflight: Check that neither FDR FAIL or CVR FAIL messages are displayed on PFD1
and/or PFD2. If either message is displayed, refer to troubleshooting procedures listed in
Section 6.3.

Every 12 Months: Download and analyze at least one entire flights data and audio
recording. The operator must verify that the recorded values for each parameter being
recorded and the quality of the audio are both acceptable with regards to the actual flight
characteristics and communications that occurred during the recorded flight. Downloading
and testing procedures are listed in Section 6.1.2 of this report or in Section 4 of the L-3
Communications FA2100 CVDR Installation and Operation Instruction Manual (P/N
165E1847-01). The latest ROSE aircraft configuration file in accordance to Cessna
drawing 3931321 (file 3931321R0X) can be obtained through Propeller Aircraft Customer
Service at 316-517-5800.

Every 2 Years: Visually inspect the FA2100 CVDR (and ULD), GSD41, accelerometer,
potentiometer, impact switch, summing amplifiers, and area microphone for security of
installation, undue deterioration and wear, corrosion or any other form of damage. Check
that these components are clean and nameplates are legible. Visually inspect the
associated electrical connectors and strain reliefs at the mounting trays. Check for
cleanliness, unwarranted looseness, foreign material, properly installed clamp points, wire
damage, and bend radius. Visually inspect the associated wiring for signs of wire
degradation, evidence of broken, charred or corroded wiring. Look for evidence of:
moisture or fluids contamination, wire discoloration due to contamination or heat, wire
damage resulting from vibration (under clamps and tie straps), damage due to improper
maintenance, and damage due to foreign material. If any wire degradation is detected,
identify and eliminate the cause leading to wiring degradation. Repair/replace wiring as
required, referring to the aircraft and system wiring Sections 3.4 and 5.3. The ULD and
impact switch must also be tested. Refer to Section 6.1.2 for ULD and impact switch
testing procedures, and this Section, under maintenance interval Every 6 Years, for
servicing (battery replacement) the ULD if necessary.

Every 5 Years: The flap potentiometer must be adjusted/calibrated every five years or
any time maintenance is performed on the aircrafts flap control system. Verification of

flap potentiometer operation is covered in the adjustment/calibration process. Refer to

Section 6.1.1 for adjustment/calibration procedures of the flap potentiometer. The 3-axis
accelerometer is also to be tested for proper operation verification. Verify proper operation
of the accelerometer per test procedures in Section 6.1.2.

Every 6 Years: The ULD is equipped with a battery that has an expected life of 6 years.
The ULD is part of the FA2100 CVDR unit and is mounted on the front for easy removal.
Refer to the L-3 Communications FA2100 CVDR Installation and Operation Instruction
Manual (P/N 165E1847-01) for instructions on servicing the ULD for battery replacement.
