Acron Aviation and Airbus Join Forces to Offer an Upgrade Solution for 25-Hour CVR

Global– Acron Aviation has announced a new collaboration with Airbus to deliver an upgrade solution for Airbus aircraft operators worldwide. The partnership introduces the SRVIVR25 Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) — a 25-hour recording device that meets the latest FAA and EASA compliance requirements and represents the next generation of cockpit voice recording technology.

  • The SRVIVR25, developed by Acron Aviation, is the only 25-hour CVR approved and qualified by Airbus to date.

  • Fully compliant with the FAA Reauthorization Act and EASA CVR regulations, the system ensures operators meet extended voice recording mandates for both new and in-service aircraft.

  • The upgrade is supported through an Airbus Service Bulletin, enabling seamless integration with existing audio panels, cockpit microphones, and datalink recording systems.

  • The SRVIVR25 is designed as a fit-form-function replacement for legacy 2-hour CVRs — regardless of manufacturer — minimizing installation time and aircraft downtime.

  • Operators will benefit from standardized part numbers across new and retrofit installations, simplifying logistics, maintenance, and spares management.

  • The recorder is future-ready, engineered to align with upcoming ED-112B audio standards and offering versions with Recorder Independent Power Supply (RIPS) to reduce wiring, space, and weight while enhancing redundancy.

  • Built on more than 60 years of Acron Aviation’s safety innovation, the SRVIVR25 provides advanced diagnostics, high reliability, and compatibility with existing ground support equipment for efficient data retrieval.

Statements

  • “This collaboration with Airbus ensures operators have access to our pioneering SRVIVR25 CVR, a product that sets industry standards and is fully certified to meet the evolving regulatory landscape,” said Alan Crawford, Chief Executive Officer of Acron Aviation.
  • Crawford continued, “SRVIVR25 includes versions with integrated Recorder Independent Power Supply (RIPS), significantly reducing wiring, space, and weight requirements while streamlining upgrades across diverse fleets, so airlines are not only meeting compliance standards, but they are also future-proofing their fleets.”

US Regulator Approves Production Increase for Boeing 737 in October 2025

USA – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has lifted its production cap on Boeing’s 737 MAX progra, allowing the aircraft manufacturer to increase output from 38 to 42 aircraft per month. The restriction had been in place since January 2024.

  • FAA safety inspectors completed extensive audits and oversight of Boeing’s production lines before approving the rate increase.

  • Boeing plans to ramp up production to 42 aircraft per month immediately, supporting recovery efforts across its delivery backlog and airline commitments.

  • The 737 MAX is Boeing’s flagship single-aisle aircraft, with widespread adoption among global carriers including Ryanair, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines.

  • The FAA confirmed the rate increase in a direct call from FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford to Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg.

Flight School Resource and Training Timeline Forecasting Software, Aeroplanned, Launches 3‑Month Tracking and Resource Planning Dashboard

Global – Aeroplanned, the pioneering resource planning platform for flight training, has announced the rollout of its new “3‑Month Tracking and Resource Planning Dashboard” offering tailored visibility of student progress and resource utilisation for flight schools.

  • The dashboard provides a three‑month forward view of training operations, highlighting who’s in training, how they are tracking, and where intervention may be required.

  • It links student progress with resource forecasts, enabling training organisations to see when capacity is constrained or when there is spare capacity, thus helping avoid bottlenecks or under‑utilisation.

  • Features include interactive metrics alignment (allowing schools to match the dashboard with their own KPI set) and custom tagging/grouping of cohorts or resources for flexible operational planning.

  • Earlier in May 2025, the company announced a feature‑suite release enhancing data‑accuracy tools—such as built‑in guidance to detect incomplete or outdated data points—designed for flight schools without dedicated planners.

Check out the video below to see how it looks in action.
