Why SRVIVR25™

FAA Reauthorization Bill Mandate: All aircraft must upgrade to 25-hour cockpit voice recorders by 2030. SRVIVR25™ is already compliant.

The aviation industry faces a compliance deadline that will impact commercial operators. SRVIVR25™ already exceeds all current regulatory requirements, protecting your fleet from costly last-minute upgrades and potential operational disruptions.

Unlike legacy systems that require expensive aircraft modifications, SRVIVR25™ integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure, providing unmatched recording capacity and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Transport Canadian (TC) Mandate: All aircraft and transport helicopters are required minimum 2-hour cockpit voice recording, dedicated 10-minute Recorder Independent Power Supply (RIPS) to recorder and area microphone, and Air Traffic Control (ATC) datalink recording by May 2026. SRVIVR25™ exceeds these standards.

What this means for you

  • Compliance: Meets 2030 FAA and TC mandate requirements now
  • Future-proof design: Supports ED-112A and evolution to ED-112B audio quality
  • Lower total costs: Easier, faster downloads mean reduced operating costs
