Teledyne Controls Avionics Selected for new British Airways A319/A320 Fleet

LOS ANGELES, CA – British Airways has selected Teledyne Controls, a Teledyne Technologies company (NYSE: TDY), to provide Flight Data Interface Management Units (FDIMU), encompassing 3 functions within a single unit (mandatory, engine / aircraft condition monitoring, and flight data recording), for their new Airbus narrow-bodied fleet. This fleet includes 39 A319, and 20 A320 aircraft, with options for up to 129 additional aircraft.

The FDIMU is a new system architecture of data acquisition and recording on Airbus aircraft which combines multiple traditionally separate functions into one system. Teledyne, through its concept of Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) Compression^TM , provides this FDIMU that combines the functions of the Flight Data Interface Unit (FDIU – mandatory data acquisition), the Data Management Unit (DMU – engine / aircraft condition monitoring) and the Data Access Recorder (DAR – maintenance / FOQA data recording) into a single LRU system.

The FDIMU is a multi processor system which will function as either a two function (DMU: ACMS and DAR) or three function (FDIMU: mandatory recording, ACMS and DAR) unit, depending on the configuration of the aircraft. The unit can be installed as a stand-alone FDIMU on new aircraft, or can replace the DMU + DAR (the mandatory function is inhibited) on aircraft already equipped with a FDIU.
