FOKKER 50 AIRFRAME SYSTEMS (ATA 20-50) MODIFICATIONS (36)

Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) 7.1

The Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)  is introduced to reduce the risk of mid-air collisions or near mid-air collisions between aircraft. When TCAS II version 7.1 is implemented the probability of mid-air collisions will be reduced significantly. *

The introduction of TCAS change 7.1 software is available for Fokker 50, Fokker 70 and Fokker 100 aircraft as well as for other types of aircraft like Airbus A318, A319, A320, A321, Boeing 737 series, 757, 767,  Bombardier Dash 8 and CRJ.

Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) in Aviation Use

Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) are becoming increasingly common in daily life. Recognized national health authorities in several countries now recommend the use of AEDs in public and private environments, including aviation.

As a result, operators are being advised by these health institutes to install AED equipment on board aircraft.

To support this initiative, AMC1 CAT.IDE.A.220(b)(4) has been issued, providing additional guidance. This is further explained in EASA FAQ No. 19169, available at: https://www.easa.europa.eu/faq/19169

While AED units are widely certified for civil (non-aviation) use, demonstrating compliance with DOA 160 standards for aerospace applications can sometimes be challenging.

Fokker Services has successfully conducted EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) verification testing for the following aircraft types:

  • Fokker 50

  • Fokker 70/100

  • Embraer 170/190

  • De Havilland Dash-8

The testing was performed using the following commercially available AED models:

Solid-State Recorders (SSCVR and SSFDR) and ULB/RIPS

Enhanced Flight Data Recorder /Cockpit Voice Recorder Systems for Improved Compliance and Reliability

Several aviation authorities have mandated—or are in the process of mandating—the use of Solid-State Recorders and Underwater Locator Beacons (ULBs) with increased performance requirements.

Key regulatory milestones include:

  • By 2018: All flight recorder-mounted ULBs must have a minimum 90-day transmission duration.

  • By 2019: All flight recorders are expected to be solid-state types with a minimum recording duration of 120 minutes.

  • Post-ED112 requirements: Flight recorders must be capable of storing 20 to 25 hours of data.

In response to both regulatory changes and operational needs, Fokker Services introduces a new generation of Solid-State Flight Data Recorders (FDRs), Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVRs), and ULBs for integration across your fleet. These units offer significant advantages over traditional tape-based systems, including:

  • Improved technical dispatch reliability

  • Reduced maintenance costs

  • Increased system performance and recording integrity

To further enhance survivability and regulatory compliance, Recorder Independent Power Supply (RIPS) units can also be offered, either as add-on modules or integrated solutions.
