B. The encoder will operate when power is supplied to the flight recorder. When 115 volts ac is applied to the encoder motor (which drives the switching discs) through de-energized relay K1, the encoder begins its 15-minute cycle and the indicator light is illuminated. Voltage is applied to the binary trip and date circuits in the flight recorder in a sequential series corresponding to the numbers set up on the encoder. A switching disc set to the number seven will then complete seven pulses to the circuits which then apply seven pulse marks on the recorder tape. Each disc is rotated in turn until all information is recorded. At the end of the cycle, the stop contact on switching disc stops the encoder and extinguish the indicating light. Pressing the REPEAT button starts the encoder cycle again. When power is no longer available to the flight recorder and encoder, the encoder is reset for an automatic cycle whenever power is returned to the system.
6. Operation (Fig. 2)
A. Parameter Inputs
(1)
The UFDR receives inputs from sensors and signals from other airplane systems. The inputs are grouped as analog and discrete, and are listed as follows:
(2)
Analog Inputs
(a)
Accelerometer 1) The accelerometer provides acceleration signals to the UFDR. 2) The accelerometer receives 26-volt ac power from the UFDR.
(b)
Synchro Input Sources 1) Altitude and airspeed signals from the air data computer. 2) Compass heading information from compass system.
(3)
Discrete Inputs
(a) Ground keying signals are received from each VHF communication transceiver.

UFDR Functions

The data is sequentially recorder on eight channels. The read/write channels are operated by the track select circuit and the tape transport by the microprocessor. During recording, the tape moves two steps forward and one step back. The tape speed stabilizes on the initial step. Recording takes place on the second step which is followed by a back stroke for verification. The data recorded on the preceding second forward step is read for playback and verification during the current first forward step.
(6)
The tape passes through the erase head first. Consequently, that portion of the tape is erased before reaching the write head where the new data is recorded. Separate erase heads and write heads are used for opposite directions of tape travel. At the end of the tape, the EOT/BOT sensor detects the clear window in the tape and switches both the tape travel direction and to the next recording track.
