The AKV Exceedance and Trend Monitor ETM1000 is an Engine Data Acquisition Unit (EDAU). It provides legacy operators with a highly effective and affordable means to monitor and record all drive train parameters for exceedances and trending. The ETM1000 is the only system available that is programmed with the complete Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) operating limitations and helps prevent an exceedance from being recorded by providing alert tones to the pilot in conjunction with panel mounted pushbutton annunciators with caution and warning indication. A dedicated instrument panel mounted power check pushbutton and health indication is also provided.

Available options for the ETM1000 are cycle counting for the Arriel 1 and LTS101 engines via a dedicated display with back light, HESLO iOS Remote Gauge App (Patent No. US 10, 780,995 B1) for the Arriel 1D1 (non-VEMD) or 3rd party Flight Data Recorders (FDR) system interface for live data streaming. FDR purchased separately.

Recorded data from the ETM1000 is easily offloaded via an SD card, or in real time when connected to a 3rd party satellite or cellular tracking system. This data is then viewed with the supplied graphing and trending software to meet FAA FOQA and EASA AMC2 CAT.POL.H.305(b) system requirements.

Testimonial

A game changer for our AS350 B2!

“The use of Bluetooth Remote Gauge App on the ETM1000 is a game changer for our AS350 B2. The safety and increased situational awareness it provides is something that has to be experienced to be believed. In my opinion, one of the best features for the B2 interface is the yellow and red band of lights across the top of the gauges. When focused on the load, ground personal or the like, having a color band changing form yellow to red instead of a watching a number allows for more focus to be spent on the job. This band can easily be seen in the pilots’ peripherals which means a slight power check keeps you out of transient limits. Their customer support is also a credit to the company. We are looking forward to the systems integration with Spider X."

Testimonial

It has been absolutely flawless!

"And as for the performance of the equipment, it has been absolutely flawless.  You build a fantastic product and we couldn’t be happier with it.  I refuse to field a SD1 or SD2 engine without your ETM1000 installed.  To me its that important.  Personally, I think it should be integrated into the STC, but that’s a whole other discussion."
