AFIRS 228B Global Communications System

FLYHT's Automated Flight Information Reporting System (AFIRS) 228B Global Communications System provides aircraft crew with reliable voice and data services using Iridium's global satellite network. Data based services available through the AFIRS 228B include automated OOOIs, flight following, engine trending, live-FOQA exceedance reporting, and fuel management. AFIRS 228 capabilities include integrated cockpit audio, intelligent data transmission, remotely programmable, built-in QAR, and EFB in-flight connectivity. The AFIRS 228B has 2 Iridium channels. One transceiver provides global voice and data communications using standard Satcom cockpit controls from the Audio Control Panel and available MCDU dialing. The second modem provides redundant short burst data messaging should the voice channel be in use. The AFIRS 228B offers telecom flexibility via conventional 2-wire "Tip and Ring" telephony devices. Up to 2 wired or 8 cordless handsets can be added in the cabin providing intercom, call transfer, conference calling, camp-on calling and noise cancelling features. This provides the crew with worldwide access to MedLink or other emergency medical services.

 

A separate Aircraft Configuration Module contains the SIM card, system configuration information and user-stored information (E.G. phone lists) making the AFIRS 228B a true line replaceable unit. The AFIRS 228B system meets all the certifications and performance standards necessary to support installation on any aircraft model.
