ZBN-1-3 Series 3

ZBN-1-3 Series 3 Flight Data Recorder Overview

The ZBN-1-3 Series 3 is a protected onboard solid-state recorder designed for accumulation and preservation of flight parameter data. The unit functions as a parametric flight data recorder within onboard recording systems and ensures retention of critical flight information for post-flight analysis, operational monitoring, and investigation of incidents and accidents. The recorder is engineered to operate as a crash-protected memory unit capable of maintaining data integrity under extreme mechanical and environmental воздействия conditions defined by aviation standards.

ZBN-1-3 Series 3 Recording Function

The recorder continuously captures and stores processed parametric data related to aircraft systems and flight conditions. It ensures accurate recording during all phases of flight, including start-up, taxiing, takeoff, cruise, maneuvering, descent, and shutdown. The system is designed to withstand high-impact loads, thermal exposure, pressure, and immersion, preserving the last recorded flight data even under severe аварийные воздействия. This allows reliable reconstruction of flight parameters for safety analysis and technical evaluation.

ZBN-1-3 Series 3 Aircraft Application

The unit is installed on aircraft and helicopters as part of onboard flight data recording systems and enables replacement of legacy magnetic tape recorders without modification of aircraft wiring or system architecture. Применяемость: часто устанавливается на вертолеты семейства Ми-8/17 (например, Ми-171Е) и другие типы воздушного судна в составе систем МСРП-64М-5 или БУР-1-2. It is also used across a wide range of fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft platforms where modern solid-state recording solutions are required to maintain compliance with operational and safety requirements.

ZBN-1-3 Series 3 System Integration

The recorder operates from a 27 V DC onboard power supply and interfaces with aircraft data processing systems such as Topaz-M, PS-90 and equivalent units. It supports high-speed digital data readout via USB–RS-422 interface, enabling efficient access to recorded data for maintenance and analysis. The unit provides up to 50 hours of protected recording and demonstrates high reliability and long service life under continuous эксплуатация conditions. The product is also known under alternative designations ZBN-1-3 ser.3 and ЗБН-1-3 серия 3, which refer to the same product type.
