Understanding the Engine Data Downloader
Wireless transmission to the Zing service is accomplished by installing and operating an ECTM Data Downloader avionics unit that interfaces with the all the DEECs on the aircraft. It requires the aircraft and DEECS to be powered up to perform its tasks. Pushing a button on the remote control panel activates the unit that performs an equivalent data download as the ECTM Viewer or EEI software that operators use today on their laptops.

compresses the data file, encrypts the file for security, connects to the GSM cellular network and sends the data over the internet to the Zing monitoring system. The indicators on the remote control panel show the progress through these steps and indicate success or failure of the transmission. Download the fact sheet here
