REVISION 22
QUICK ACCESS RECORDER SYSTEM
The airplane may be equipped with an Extended Quick Access
Recorder (EQAR) or an Optical Quick Access Recorder (OQAR),
which have been designed to automatically acquire and record the
flight data sent from DAU 1 and DAU 2 to FDR and CMC, without pilot
action, as soon as the airplane is energized.
All the information is recorded in a removable rewritable magnetic
optical disk, thus reducing the time for ground data analysis to a
minimum. No provision has been made to warn flight crew about
system status; consequently, there is no EICAS message associated
with this equipment.
