The BC-5R is a multifunction Data Recorder, designed to record data in five categories. The BC-5R is encased in a 3.80″ x 2.64″ x 1.6″ gold-plated enclosure. The BC-5R can be mounted under the instrument panel or in an equipment bay. It comes equipped with a USB cable and data stick for accessing stored data.
The BC-5R incorporates an internal clock that is used to Time Stamp each row of data as it is recorded.
The BC-5R is capable of monitoring up to three Event Lines. These Event Lines are normally used to mark data for flight testing.
The BC-5R monitors and records bus voltage to the instrument.
The first seven channels of the BC-5R are configured to interface with Electronics International’s (E.I.’s) engine/aircraft instruments.
The eighth channel of the BC-5R can be used to monitor GPS data. This is normally Moving Map, Aviation or NMEA data. The data records are Next Waypoint Name, Latitude, Longitude, Ground Speed, Altitude and Track. If this channel is not used to monitor GPS, it can be configured to monitor an additional E.I. instrument.
The Data Recorder is equipped with a multi-color LED designed to display the system’s operational status through various colors.

I was able to try out the CGR-30P in a flight school plane. I was very impressed with the ease of use, visual quality, and information provided on the main screen… I feel it will pay for itself in fuel savings, and extended engine time before overhaul.
Good engineering support.
Very easy to install and directions were straight-forward.
Very easy to install. Harness is clearly marked. Instrument worked first time. The instrument is intuitive and easy to use.
Great customer service!
Great company to deal with. Excellent customer service. [I chose this E.I. instrument because it’s] simple and easy to use.
Working with EI representatives from the OSHKOSH show and sales representative has been a pleasant and positive experience. They have been very helpful, truthful and knowledgeable about EI’s products. I have yet to see the MVP-50P in action in our plane. Waiting for the Top Overhaul to be completed. We are glad we secured your product at the airshow. We had no idea, that a few weeks later, we would need to have a Top Overhaul. What great timing! Having your engine monitor installed in our plane will hopefully help us keep it out of the shop for further engine repairs.
Sales reps have been very friendly and helpful.
Excellent installation instructions [&] recommend[ed] by others.
Great to have all 6 egt’s, installation was straightforward. [I chose E.I. because of] price and availability.
I like being able to get a hold of a technical expert immediately when calling into the main EI phone number… The build quality of the sensors, display unit and EDC seem very good… I appreciate the business practices of EI and have had an EI R-1 Tachometer which has worked flawlessly for the past 20 years.
Just about to begin flying with the EI MVP-50P, so no in-flight feedback yet. But I did study the user manual, then sat in my plane going through the screens, menus, etc. It was very easy and intuitive to locate everything, so I’m confident that it will become second nature to do this in flight… Very happy with all interactions with EI.
