On 17-18 Mar 98, representatives from Boeing and Smiths Industries (SI) met inSt. Louis for a Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM) in support of the Crash Survivable Flight Incident Recorder (CSFIR) integration into F/A-18C/D aircraft. A list of the TIM participants is in attachment Number 1. The objective of this meeting was to coordinate changes to the draft CSFIR Interface Control Document (ICD), ICD-F/A-18-075, Revision Preliminary Number 2. The ICD defines the CSFIR when installed on the F/A-18 C/D aircraft. The objective of the TIM was met. SI gained a better understanding of the DFIR emulation requirement. These understandings are listed below. However, in order for SI to scope the software development tasks necessary to integrate the VADR(trade name) on the F/A-18 aircraft further information is needed. A Preliminary Number 3 revision to the Interface Control Document was generated (authored by Boeing) based on inputs from the participants of this TIM and will be reviewed prior to the next TIM. The resulting action items from this TIM are indicated in the report.
