Key Tasks

  • Wireless real-time monitoring of aircraft skin pressure during lifting with RLBs or Trailers
  • Electronic recording of all loads applied to the aircraft for post-recovery airworthiness assessment
  • Wireless sensors with range up to 280 m – flexible deployment across large recovery site
  • Ensures compliance with Airbus A350 ARM and Boeing load documentation requirements

Overview

The KUNZ SPC Skin Pressure Control is a wireless sensor-based system for the precise monitoring and electronic recording of aircraft skin pressure during lifting operations with KUNZ Recovery Lifting Bags or KUNZ Aircraft Recovery Trailers.

The system uses modern 868.4 MHz radio technology with a wireless range of up to 280 metres. A portable control unit with a 7-inch touchscreen displays real-time pressure data for all sensors simultaneously, while all measurements are stored electronically for transfer to a PC for evaluation and documentation.

As required by the Airbus A350 Aircraft Recovery Manual: accurate recording of all loads applied during recovery is essential for the future airworthiness of the aircraft. The KUNZ SPC ensures full compliance with this requirement.

Main Benefits

  • Wireless sensors with range up to 280 m – flexible deployment on any recovery site
  • Modern 868.4 MHz radio technology for reliable real-time data transmission
  • 7-inch touchscreen control unit for intuitive operation under field conditions
  • Simultaneous monitoring of all sensor points during the lift
  • Complete electronic data recording and storage for post-recovery documentation
  • Meets Airbus A350 ARM and Boeing requirements for recovery load data
  • Compatible with KUNZ RLB Recovery Lifting Bags and KUNZ Aircraft Recovery Trailers
  • Critical for post-recovery airworthiness assessment of the aircraft

Protecting Aircraft Airworthiness Through Precise Load Documentation

The KUNZ SPC Skin Pressure Control goes beyond the recovery operation itself. By providing accurate, real-time measurement and a complete electronic record of all loads applied to the aircraft, the SPC supports the post-recovery airworthiness assessment and helps determine whether the aircraft can return to service.

Aircraft Recovery Manuals from Airbus explicitly state that accurate load data collected during recovery operations can have a direct effect on the future airworthiness of the aircraft. The KUNZ SPC ensures that this data is captured completely, accurately and in a format suitable for submission to maintenance authorities and insurers.

Wireless, Portable and Ready for Any Recovery Site

The KUNZ SPC is designed for the realities of aircraft recovery – operations that take place in unprepared environments, under time pressure and often in adverse weather conditions.

The wireless sensor system with 280 m range eliminates the need for cabling across the recovery site, while the portable 7-inch touchscreen control unit provides a clear, intuitive interface for the recovery team leader. All data is stored automatically during the operation and can be exported to a PC for detailed analysis, reporting and archiving after the recovery is complete.

Regulatory Reference:

Airbus A350 Aircraft Recovery Manual (MAR 01/2016): "Make sure that the report includes accurate data of all loads applied to the aircraft during the recovery process. The accuracy of the data recorded during the recovery operation can have a direct effect on the future airworthiness of the aircraft."
