MUX-8A Upgrade to BC-5R

The BC-5R Data Recorder by Electronics International is a state-of-the-art device designed to enhance aircraft data recording and analysis capabilities. Serving as a direct replacement for the older MUX-8A Data Recorder, the BC-5R offers advanced features and improved functionality, making it an essential upgrade for modern aircraft operations.

Key Features:

• Enhanced Data Recording:
  The BC-5R records data from up to seven Electronics International (E.I.) instruments and one GPS input, consolidating critical engine and aircraft performance metrics into a single, time-stamped dataset. This integration facilitates comprehensive monitoring and analysis of flight data.

• User-Friendly Data Access:
  Equipped with a USB interface, the BC-5R allows for effortless data downloads. Pilots and maintenance personnel can quickly access recorded information, streamlining post-flight analysis and maintenance procedures.

• Flexible Configuration:
  The recorder can be configured to interface with various E.I. instruments, including the CGR series and MVP series, accommodating diverse aircraft systems and monitoring requirements.

• Compact and Robust Design:
  Housed in a durable, gold-plated enclosure measuring 3.80” x 2.64” x 1.6”, the BC-5R is designed for easy installation under the instrument panel or in an equipment bay, ensuring compatibility with various aircraft configurations.

• Time-Stamped Data:
  An internal clock time-stamps each data entry, providing accurate temporal context for recorded information, which is crucial for trend analysis and maintenance scheduling.

• Event Line Monitoring:
  The BC-5R can monitor up to three event lines, enabling pilots to mark specific events during flight, such as engine exceedances or system anomalies, for detailed post-flight analysis.
