Affordable Aircraft & Engine monitoring and diagnostics made easy…

ADAS+ for the Cessna Caravan
|
|
|
|
|
|
Altair Avionics offers Cessna Caravan owners and operators an affordable FAA certified aircraft & engine monitoring and diagnostics solution. The ADAS+ (Aircraft Data Acquisition System) has been developed specifically to monitor critical flight parameters on turbine powered aircraft. The data available from the system allows easy assurance that the aircraft is being operated within manufacturer and owner set limits, and simply facilitates the data acquisition and reporting requirements needed to operate engines on condition. Data that would normally take hours to tabulate and process, is automatically recorded for ground-based analysis using Pratt & Whitney Canada's ECTM (Engine Condition Trend Monitoring) software.

|
|
|
The flexibility of the system software allows simple downloading and formatting of data to provide seamless integration with existing maintenance routines. Whether your goal is asset protection, on-condition maintenance, real time diagnostics, regulatory compliance, or simply safety, Altair Avionics offers broad system functionality at an affordable cost.

|
Cessna Aircraft selected Altair Avionics to provide ADAS+ systems as standard equipment on all of its production Caravans. The Supplemental Type Certified (STC'd) system is based on the same installation as the production design. In addition to the hardware aspect of the system, all ADAS+ systems sold by Altair Avionics and its Authorized Distributors, include the first year of Cessna's integrated data management and analysis system, which includes TurbineTracker , webECTM and trend analysis services. TurbineTracker is Altair Avionics' Internet-based data management system. Pratt & Whitney Canada's webECTM is an Internet-based version of their ECTM software. Trend analysis is performed by Altair Avionics, which is a P&WC Authorized eDAC (Designated Analysis Center).
