IS&S Receives STC for RVSM Retrofit of B727-100/-200


On June 19, 2001, Innovative Solutions and Support (IS&S), together with Aircraft Systems and Manufacturing Inc. (ASM), received FAA ST09887SC for installation of a dual IS&S Digital Air Data Computer (DADC) system on B727-100 and -200 aircraft, following a flawless installation and test flight. This Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) certifies the DADC components of the Malvern, PA-based supplier of cockpit data systems to the accuracy requirements for reduced vertical separation minimum (RVSM) operation and provides the needed approval for installation of IS&S RVSM compliant equipment on these aircraft. With over 1,500 RVSM systems in service, this equipment makes an ideal replacement for obsolete DADC and altimetry equipment. Other qualifications for IS&S DADCs include: TSO-C106; environment RTCA DO-160D; and software RTCA-DO-178B Level A.

The architecture of the IS&S RVSM system for 727 aircraft consists of dual digital air data computers that operate two repeater altimeters, and a common altitude alerter. Computed air data and operational outputs are formatted to be compatible with the aircraft's receiving instrumentation. Altitude alerts are both audible and visual, with an output provided for a discrete Sonalert. A secondary numeric readout displays either static air temperature or cabin altitude, with an alert if the latter exceeds 10,000 feet.

The all electronic altimeters receive coarse and fine synchro pressure altitude inputs from the DADCs, correct this data for the local altitude setting number, and display baro-corrected altitude. A signal is sent to the altitude alerter. Baro correction is sent from the altimeter to the DADC. The altitude alerter provides two user-selectable operating modes. Altitude alerting mode annunciates approach to, or departure from, a user-selected altitude. Minimum descent altitude (MDA) mode alerts of approach to a user-selected minimum altitude. The DADCs receive, process, compute, and output various altitude, airspeed, and related air data using digital and analog signal interfaces.
Innovative Solutions & Support manufactures a wide variety of equipment for RVSM solutions on all aircraft requiring RVSM upgrades. IS&S is a diversified manufacturer of cockpit data systems and a global supplier to civil, military, business, and commercial OEMs and operators.

Off-the-Shelf Altitude and Cabin Pressure Alerter from IS&S Offers 3-Way Early Warning

To give pilots early warning of potentially dangerous cabin altitude and pressure conditions, Innovative Solutions & Support, the Malvern, PA-based supplier of cockpit data systems, has developed a dedicated solution - an off-the-shelf altitude alerter that is fully RVSM compliant and has already been field proven on all aircraft that require cabin pressurization. RTCA certifications include DO-160D (environment) and DO-178B Level D (software).

The unit issues three different types of warnings when sensed cabin altitude is at or above 10,000 feet (3,000 meters). It flashes cabin altitude on its liquid crystal display (LCD), it annunciates a caution light located within its integral push button, and it triggers audio alerts in the form of a warning message within the pilots' headsets as well as a Sonalert horn. Cabin altitude continues to flash until the altitude alerter's pushbutton is pressed or until sensed cabin altitude reaches 9,500 feet (2,800 meters).

The altitude alerter function has four user-selectable operating modes and inputs and displays the selected "go to" target altitude during altitude capture operation. The modes are: Altitude Alert, which annunciates conditions of approach to and departure from a user-selected altitude; Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA), which indicates approach to a user-selected minimum altitude; Static Air Temperature (SAT), which displays SAT; and Cabin Altitude, which indicates cabin pressure by displaying its equivalent altitude. Baro-corrected altitude and SAT data are supplied from the plane's digital air data computer (DADC) via ARINC 429. It computes cabin altitude (cabin pressure) using an integral pressure transducer. Altitude data is displayed in feet or meters.

The unit's pushbutton has multiple functions. It selects operating mode, cancels alert and fault indications, activates the indicator self test, and with the Target Altitude Adjust knob, selects audio alert type and adjusts volume. The Target Altitude Adjust knob is also used for setting the Alert Altitude/MDA mode target altitudes and the Altitude Capture mode selected "go-to" altitude, which is displayed in the upper portion of the LCD. The SAT and cabin altitude are displayed in the lower portion of the LCD.

Innovative Solutions & Support is a diversified manufacturer of cockpit data systems and a global supplier to civil, military, business, and commercial OEMs and operators. In addition to the industry's largest flat panel cockpit display, the company manufactures a broad range of digital RVSM-capable air data systems and displays, cabin displays, fuel quantity and flow measurement instruments, as well as engine and hydraulic displays.
