ACMS Reporting
In addition to the standard ARINC717 flight data, the WQAR can also record
ARINC429 data (ACMS reports) if the acquisition unit sends such reports.
When enabled, upon landing, the WQAR will power up the radios but wait a
fixed amount of time before sending any data to allow for these reports to
come in. This delay is referred to as the Recording Completion Delay (RCD).
The typical setting is five minutes. Once the RCD has elapsed, the WQAR will
transmit both the ARINC717 and ARINC429 data in a single (WGL) file. Each
flight is compartmentalized into distinct compressed files.
RF Interlocks
Aircraft regulations prohibit the WQAR radios from transmitting while the
aircraft is in the air. To comply with this regulation, Teledyne Controls has
incorporated hardware, referred to as High Reliable RF Interlocks, which
provides strict controls to allow power to be applied to the radios only while
the aircraft is on the ground.
Removable SIM Module (RSM)
This WQAR is equipped with a Removable SIM Module (RSM) which located
behind the front Access Door. After WQAR power is removed, the RSM can
be removed by the operator using the procedure in section 4, View/Replace
Removable SIM Module (RSM) or Individual SIM Card. When replacing or
installing the individual SIM cards (mini-SIM cards) into the RSM, the WQAR
may require a new OPC file for proper operation.
