Altair Avionics offers Bell 206 & MD 500 helicopter
owners and operators the first affordable
automated data acquisition and engine control
platform. The FAA certified IntelliStart+ system
was designed for Rolls Royce / Allison 250
powered helicopters and it performs a dual
function, recording engine and flight data for
interrogation and diagnostics. The system
provides FADEC-like starts by monitoring
critical engine parameters during the engine
start sequence and modulating fuel flow to
prevent "Hot Start" occurrences. IntelliStart+
assists during the start by limiting damaging
thermal temperature peaks in the engine hot
section, thus extending the useful life of
the engine and its components. After the
start, the system monitors critical flight
parameters enabling easy assurance that
the aircraft is being operated within manufacturer and owner set limits.

Originally developed for Bell UH-1 applications,
SmartCycle+ is now FAA certified for a wide range
of helicopters. The system has been designed to
identify and record event and trend data from both
airframes and engines. 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. In cases where
Repetitive Heavy Lift (RHL) or Retirement Index
Number (RIN) cycle counting algorithms exist,
Altair systems can be configured to recognize
appropriate flight conditions and automatically
record the data. The system features six cycle
counters that can each be configured with any of
five types of counting regimes..
|
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.
