Selecting your Flightcell DZMx
The Flightcell DZMx is an extremely flexible product platform that can be applied to a large range of operational requirements. When purchasing a DZMx there are some decisions to be made with the hardware and software options.
How the DZMx Works with a Cradle
In this article we explain how the Flightcell DZMx works in-tandem with the Flightcell Cradle and an Iridium phone, for a versatile grab and go satphone option off the aircraft.
Transfer files to and from an aircraft with Dropbox
How do you transfer large files from an aircraft to the ground and from the ground to an aircraft? Use Dropbox of course!
Flightcell DZMx Geofencing Capability
If you are going to be flying for hours in a confined area you may wish to suspend aircraft tracking. There's no point sending GPS reports if they are not required, so there is a cost saving here. A good example of this is agriculture spraying.
You'll find DZM's on these Aircraft
Flightcell International's DZM products have been in the marketplace since 2006. First there was the DZM1, followed by DZM2 and DZM3, and since 2013, the DZMx.
CEO’s Extreme Commitment to Product Testing
Flightcell’s CEO, John Wyllie, an experienced helicopter pilot, recently put his own product to the ultimate test—with himself as the subject.
How DZMx Bluetooth Works
The DZMx Bluetooth works like your car stereo Bluetooth. When you enter your vehicle, your phone connects automatically to the car stereo and streaming audio and voice calls are audible over the car stereo speakers.
Manifest Detection
This is a licensed DZMx feature that automatically detects assets on an aircraft, and if required, transmits manifest information to an operations centre.
Mission Marking
This operational capability of the Flightcell DZMx has been designed to meet the needs of the Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS), however it could be used for any type of helicopter or fixed wing mission.
New DZMx Firmware Platform
DZMx firmware platform 4 (v4.x.x) is on-track to be implemented before the end of Q2 2020. This firmware platform supports a new CPU that will be capable of supporting the data requirements of the DZMx for many years to come.
AIS Capability for Flightcell DZMx
Flightcell has added yet another capability to the DZMx product platform to help aircraft rendezvous with ships at sea. The technology is called Automatic Identification System (AIS).
Flightcell DZMx helping the UK’s critically ill babies and children
The Children’s Air Ambulance (TCAA) is a national service which is changing the face of paediatric and neonatal aeromedical transfers through the high-speed transfer of critically ill babies and children from one hospital to another for specialist care.
Automated Rescue Procedures
The article featured in Rotor Magazines Spring 2019 issue, titled ‘Too Much Fun’, is a reminder of a how increasing the enjoyment factor of flying can result in tragedy. It is also a reminder of how technology and human monitoring can let the victims down while they lie in freezing conditions waiting to be rescued.
New DZMx Capabilities
Beyond its WiFi, Bluetooth® and HD audio support, the latest Platform 3 DZMx firmware is packing a real punch - releasing a host of new capabilities.
New DZMx Platform Takes Flight
The release of built in WiFi and Bluetooth for the Flightcell DZMx has meant an overhaul of the product's architecture, and with it, some exciting new capabilities.
Just Focus on the Flying
If you are involved with Helicopter Air Ambulances (HAA’s) in the USA there is a whole lot more to think about now. At the end of April an amendment to Part 135 (Subpart L—Helicopter Air Ambulance Equipment, Operations, and Training Requirements) came into force.
Welcoming WiFi and Bluetooth Onboard
At Heli-Expo we announced two highly desirable new features for the Flightcell DZMx. From July this year we will ship the first DZMx units with built in WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities. Both capabilities will be optional enhancements.
Maximising the Life of your Turbine Engine
Good data is all-important when it comes to maximising the life cycle of your aircraft's turbine engine. If full and correct cycle history is not documented adequately, life-limited rotables must be scrapped to guarantee safety—an extremely expensive shame in the case of parts that might otherwise have significant life left in them.
Automated Rescue Monitoring (A.R.M)
It's as simple as a press of a button but it has critical implications. Picture this scenario; something has gone terribly wrong in-flight, its happened in a split-second and you realise you have to make a forced landing.
