Fokker Services Group Expands Recorder Portfolio with SkyLog-25 Supply Deal

Fokker Services Group has signed a commercial agreement with KGB Aviation Solutions to supply SkyLog-25 and SkyLog-25A recorders for retrofit programs. The deal positions Fokker to meet surging demand for lightweight, 25-hour combined voice and flight data recorders compliant with ED-112A standards.

The SkyLog-25 series represents the lightest ED-112A-certified 25-hour CVFDRs available, enabling efficient upgrades on existing fleets amid FAA mandates for extended recording on new aircraft. This partnership enhances Fokker’s modification capabilities for commercial and government operators seeking cost-effective, future-proof solutions.

SkyLog-25 supports ARINC 717 up to 2,048 words per second, four ARINC 429 channels, ARINC 825, RS422/485, and three 10/100 Ethernet ports for video and data applications. Built-in cybersecurity, advanced connectivity, and a web portal for live monitoring and downloads streamline operations and data access.

The compact design facilitates easy integration in retrofit and forward-fit scenarios, reducing weight and maintenance burdens. Fokker gains a competitive edge in the growing market for extended-duration recorders driven by safety regulations.
