Belfast City selects Ricochet

Belfast City Airport selected the world’s premier ATC voice recording, logging and replay system Ricochet as part of the total solution to upgrade their Control Tower.

Systems Interface, the prime contractor for the Belfast project sub-contracted Copperchase for the supply, installation and commissioning in to service of the Ricochet ATC Recorder.

The Copperchase solution records up to 48 channels of audio with the option to expand this number in the future. It records data to RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) and archives to removable storage media (DVD) for long term storage and when necessary for transcription by either the UK CAA or UK AAIB.

Gerry Edgar, Senior Air Traffic Engineer at Belfast City Airport, comments "The Ricochet has proved very useful within the ATC environment at Belfast City providing an unprecedented level of recorded history. Both Copperchase and Systems Interface installed Ricochet effortlessly without causing disruption to any of the existing activity".

Copperchase endeavour to supply the highest quality of service, aiming to ensure, or exceed, customer satisfaction at all times.
