DZMx: Data offload, messaging, internet access, email
and much more.
Messaging and broadband data via connected devices
With its built-in modem (or modems), Flightcell DZMx gives you the ability to use a connected PC, tablet or keypad to create, send and receive messages and email from the cockpit of your aircraft.
Flightcell DZMx data messaging options are:
Canned messages for speed and convenience
Quickly send pre-loaded messages direct from your DZMx to a cellphone, satphone or map.
Select user-programmable canned messages, choose your network based on cost and availability, and send messages via Iridium SBD, Iridium SMS and cellular SMS.
Flight data - FDM, FDR and flight timers
Flight Data Monitoring (FDM)
Flightcell DZMx has the ability to transport 3rd party FDM data and exceedances off the aircraft in real-time. This is achieved using low-cost cellular data transmission.
Flight Data Recording (FDR)
Flightcell DZMx FDR meets FAA rule 135.607 - FDMS for Helicopter Air Ambulances. It has a built-in inertial measurement unit and barometric pressure sensor allowing it to record pitch, roll, acceleration, angular rate, and altitude. GPS location information is logged against these parameters.
DZMx FDR can be configured to automatically email flight data upon landing. Data is downloaded and viewed using DZMx Connect or via the DZMx API. It has the ability to store approximately 20 flights worth of data before the SD card is overwritten.
Flight Timers
DZMx provides Total Time Airframe Hours (TTAF) - also known as Hobbs Meter. This records all flight time in hours and tenths of hours. A Daily Flight Timer (DFT) and a trip timer are also available.

Multiple connection options for your devices
You can connect onboard operational devices to DZMx using:
Aircraft sensor inputs & outputs
Multiple data inputs are available with the DZMx. Inputs are commonly used to send data for change states, such as collector position, engine on/off, wheels up/down etc. They also report measured quantities from load cells and other calibrated equipment, in particular fire buckets and tanks. There are 5 standard switched inputs (digital or analogue) plus an optional expansion card provides 7 more inputs. There are two digital outputs.
Display integration
It is possible to replicate the Flightcell DZMx display on 3rd party display units and mission computers. This is achieved with custom integration using XUI, ARINC and RS485 protocols, and Flightcell can assist with this. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
USB & Ethernet connection hub
We strongly recommend all DZMx installations include the USB & Ethernet connection hub, which is available with Civil or Military connections. USB is used for uploading firmware updates, and Ethernet provides a data connection.
