ARCON
Data Convertor

The ArCon product is a universal converter allowing the client to read raw data binary files coming from FDR, CFDR or QAR into simple binary data files to process in FDA-FOQA applications.

ArCon stands for ARINC CONVERTER.

By default, most of FDR and QAR systems are recording flight data information and continuously store them into a single container. And on top of that the resulting binary file is encoded in order to force the client to buy additional specific software from the FDR or QAR manufacturer to read the information. 

One container may include 10 to 400 flights as one single long record.

In order to process such information, it is necessary to separate this one long file into one file per flight leg,

‍

When the client is operating a fleet with aircraft equipped with various models of FDR and QAR the exercise of data download and preparation to send to the FDA-FOQA application can quickly become cumbersome.
