Engine Performance
AEA Aerospace, working with Perkins Technologies, provide the versatile DAAM (Data Acquisition Alarm Monitor) solution to cost effectively monitor and manage your assets.
Perkins Technologies is established as a world leader for quality engine, airframe and events monitoring instrumentation for the general aviation market.
The Perkins Technologies DAAM system goes beyond the functionality of a basic log book by also providing real-time flight information on an intuitive digital CDU (Cockpit Display Unit - where fitted), and by providing visual alarms for many important flight parameters. In addition, it logs sensor readings in a circular memory buffer that allows detailed off-line analysis of the last several hours of flying time.
With the DAAM system installed, owner/operators will be visually informed about any departure from the pre-set design parameters of any specific aircraft.
