Acron Aviation has entered into a significant licensing partnership with KGB Aviation Solutions. This agreement enables KGB Aviation Solutions to securely access and download data from the SRVIVR25™ Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), Flight Data Recorder (FDR), and Combination Cockpit Voice Flight Data Recorder (CVFDR), through their custom Data Acquisition Ruggedized Tool (DART).

As the second licensing arrangement for SRVIVR25™ recorders, this collaboration underscores Acron Aviation’s dedication to enhancing accessibility and operational efficiency across the aviation industry.
Through this new partnership, KGB’s DART will include capabilities for efficient data extraction from SRVIVR25™ recorders, streamlining maintenance workflows and minimizing aircraft downtime.

The SRVIVR25™, a 25-hour cockpit voice recorder standard on all new Airbus platforms and widely retrofitted across airline fleets, is valued for its reliability and cutting-edge functionality.

Ron Nye, Director, Product Management at Acron Aviation, highlighted the initiative's significance: “This partnership with KGB Aviation Solutions enables customers to utilize third-party extraction of our SRVIVR25™ recorders. This enhancement meets industry demand for data accessibility and improves efficiency of maintenance teams.”

This licensing arrangement allows maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facilities, airlines, and operators to use the DART for regulatory compliance checks and routine maintenance. Known for its versatility, the DART supports multiple recorder manufacturers and ensures compliance through tailored cables, accessories, and software.

Maria Balys, President of KGB Aviation Solutions: “We are excited to be working with Acron Aviation. This licensing agreement allows owner/operators and MROs around the world an affordable and sophisticated GSE tool which enhances efficiency. The downloaded data can be securely and automatically transmitted to the appropriate Data Services or FOQA provider, streamlining aircraft-side operations. Our mutual customers will benefit from this licensing agreement as it will provide a single tool that will work across recorder OEMs and will interface with both the legacy and current state of art Recorders.
