A.
Audio Data Link Player Software
The FA5000CVDR Audio & Data Link Player (ADLP) software provides a user
−
friendly interface for initiating audio and data link message retrieval and playback
functions for the Model FA5000CVDR. It also provides the capability to decompress
the data into standard waveform audio files (.wav) for playback using conventional
audio media players.
All other Model FA5000CVDR part numbers can use this utility software to playback
the CVDR audio data but will not be able to analyze any data link messages since
these other CVDR part number recorders do not support the recording of data link
messages.

Hardware Requirements for Downloading CVR Data
The FA5000CVDR must be removed from the aircraft prior to downloading
voice data. Data Link messages, however, can be downloaded while the
recorder is on the aircraft as this data is accessed in a similar manner to stan-
dard flight data.
There are two methods to download audio and data link information from the
Model FA5000CVDR memory:
