FDR Data Acquisition & Downloading
Bit-Level Precision & Complete Regulatory Compliance
At Shadik International, we specialize in certified data collection and downloading from all major modern and legacy Flight Data Recorders (FDR) and crash-survivable Black-Box memory units.
Our specialized aviation team supports commercial airlines, charter operators, MRO organizations, and regulatory authorities with both scheduled operational downloads (FOQA/FDM/annual readouts) and mandatory incident data recovery. We handle both on-wing downloads on the flight line as well as laboratory bench interrogations.
Key Capabilities & Service Scope
- Multi-Manufacturer Compatibility: Compatible with L3Harris, Honeywell, Curtiss-Wright, Teledyne, Penny & Giles, and Universal Avionics systems.
- Solid-State & Magnetic Media: Support for Solid-State Flight Data Recorders (SSFDR) and legacy optical or tape units.
- Bus Protocol Decoding: Certified extraction across ARINC 717, ARINC 573, and high-speed ARINC 429 digital flight telemetry networks.
- Bit-Level Validation: Verification of sync words, frame counter sequencing, and parity integrity to ensure zero bit loss.
- Annual Readout Reports: Full documentation satisfying mandatory DGCA, FAA, and ICAO annual FDR airworthiness checks.
