Bombardier Taps KGB Aviation Solutions for Data Downloads

Bombardier has selected KGB Aviation Solutions’ Data Acquisition Ruggedized Tool (DART) for downloading data from aircraft flight data and cockpit voice recorders (FDR/CVR), including channels such as datalink messaging.

The DART unit will be used on the ground by the airframer’s service centers and mobile response teams, which will take advantage of its ability to rapidly process and provide needed flight information and aircraft monitoring to analysts and technical support staff.

For the past 14 years, West Seneca, N.Y.-based KGB (named after company co-founder and v-p Kevin Balys) has specialized in the design, development, and construction of aircraft data recorder downloading devices, as well as datalink data analysis.

“We are honored to have Bombardier place the trust in our product and people to deliver process improvement through our innovation in technology,” said KGB co-founder and president Maria Balys.
