PERFORMANCE
No change.
DESCRIPTION
The Model A200S Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) system provides a continuous 30 minute
record of all voice communications originating in the cockpit and aft PA audio via 4 individually
recorded channels. In addition, a separate 2-hour continuous record is provided which combines
the 4 channels into a single data stream.
The sensitive cockpit microphone is located to the left of the annunciator panel. The system is
energized when the battery switch is in the BATT position. The control panel contains a test
switch which must be pressed for a minimum of 5 seconds to check system operation. Steady
illumination of the test lamp verifies that the recorder is operating properly. An erase button is
provided which requires at least a 2-second depression to initiate the bulk erasure cycle. The
bulk erasure can only be accomplished on the ground, with the cabin door open.
