NM 3625B - Flight Inspection System

Our main product line is our range of Flight Inspection Systems which we call NM 3625B.

As space is usually at a premium in a flight inspection aircraft, we've concentrated on making the NORMARC NFIS compact and easy to install - and easy to remove. We have also focused on a high level of automation to give the operator a low workload.

The Normarc single-console MiniFIS is designed especially with multi-mission aircraft in mind. A MiniFIS weighs less than an average adult passenger and only occupies one seat position. Once installed, the MiniFIS can be removed from any aircraft in less than 30 minutes and re-deployed in about the same time, thanks to the modular building-block construction and unique peg-lock system.

Even the advanced FANFIS systems are compact and lightweight, particularly considering the number of features available. A typical FANFIS configuration loads the aircraft with the equivalent of two adults, weighing less than 200 kg and filling normally only two seat positions.

All the Normarc NFIS systems are made to fit any standard seat rails and have been approved according to JAR/FAR 23 and 25 crash safety requirements.
