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.

As an options, the ETM1000 can provided cycle counting for the Arriel 1 and LTS101 engines via a dedicated display with back light, our patented iOS Remote Gauge App (for the Arriel 1D1) 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

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."

Testimonial

It's paid for itself!

"Over the past eight years, the ETM 1000 has saved us considerable time and money. Knowing with precision and specificity what limit was exceeded, for how long, and by how much, guides the Maintenance steps needed to put an aircraft back into service. The first time you do not have to overhaul an engine because you know exactly what temperature a start procedure reached (and for how long!) the ETM 1000 has paid for itself."
