The Customer Flight Recorder (CFR) is the replacement for the existing Vehicle Data Recorder (VDR). All VCM II's are capable of being used as a CFR when the user attaches the Rotunda supplied optional pendant. The VCM II software subscription will be associated with PC / IDS software, as opposed to the current licensing strategy which is linked to the VCM itself. This new licensing strategy means the VCM II - CFR can be used just like the VDR without paying for the traditional VCM based subscription fee.
