P&WC DPHM SOLUTIONS

The Flight Data Acquisition, Storage and Transmission (FAST) system is the latest innovation in Pratt & Whitney Canada’s suite of advanced
diagnostic solutions. Within minutes of shutting down after a flight or an engine ground run, FASTTM will transmit the key engine and aircraft
data wirelessly to WebECTM®, which is accessible via the Internet, as well as email key powerplant fault codes directly to you. In addition,
FASTTM can transmit the full flight data recorder (FDR) file and transfer this, via SFTP, directly to your FOQA provider for analysis—this
occurs after each flight.

THE COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC SOLUTION


The FASTTM system eliminates the need for costly scheduled maintenance interventions to access the aircraft, connect to the
engine management unit (EMU) and FDR and obtain data files. It is designed to transmit the data, in a function-friendly format,
where and when you need it after each flight. This means rapid post-flight access to this information on a Web interface,
which allows for remote aircraft troubleshooting and faster return to service. Operators can then maximize aircraft availability,
schedule and optimize line maintenance intervention and reduce delays and cancellations.
