Sentry FDR (Flight Data Systems) Features and Specifications *

The SENTRY Flight Data Recorder (FDR) combines the essential features of traditional FDRs with a fresh, innovative design approach. With a patent-pending memory insulation technique, the SENTRY achieves a compact size, reduced weight, and lower power consumption compared to conventional FDRs, all within a modular and flexible framework. This "software-free" recorder enables aircraft-specific configurations and supports versatile, practical expansion capabilities.

The SENTRY, crafted in titanium, surpasses all ED-112A standards and meets DO-160G requirements for environmental and power resilience. Its robust enclosure is tailored for demanding airborne environments, making it an ideal choice for unmanned, commercial, military, fixed-wing, and rotary-wing aircraft.

SENTRY includes a range of aircraft interfaces including:   

• ARINC-717 and ARINC-429 (auto detection)
• Ethernet
• RS-422/485
• Analog and discrete sensor inputs
• Data Link recording
• Four high or low-fidelity audio channels (configurable)
• Rotor speed input

The SENTRY’s capabilities are further expanded with acquisition functions developed for the FDS Modular Acquisition Unit (MAU), transforming the SENTRY into a comprehensive Data Acquisition and Crash Recorder System, among other advanced functionalities.

The Flight Data Systems Sentry FDR price and features make it a very attractive option compared to similar flight data recorders (FDR)/ cockpit voice recorders (CVR) units available on the market.
