Mandatory Compliance, Aircraft Condition Monitoring and Data Recording is achieved in one unit. Teledyne Controls? Mini-Flight Data Acquisition Unit (MFDAU) provides Business and Regional aircraft operators with significant cost savings over three LRU configurations (DAU, DMU and QAR/DAR) by reducing weight, wiring, rack space and most significantly, the cost of two additional LRUs. Furthermore, the MFDAU can be utilized as either a stand-alone data acquisition system or as a complementary unit to reinforce an existing DAU system onboard the aircraft.

Key Features
