ICARUS

The ICARUS app controls the ICARUS smart view limiting device, an innovative training aid for pilots undertaking Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) training and Smoke in the Cockpit (SITC) training. ICARUS restricts a pilot’s view outside the cockpit, and is capable of simulating varying levels of visual conditions, providing trainees and instructors with greater control over the visual environment. Innovative modern materials allow ICARUS to simulate visual flight into instrument conditions. Traditional approaches including foggles and hoods are unable to simulate the surprise of entry which makes the phenomenon so deadly because they must be taken on or off to achieve transient effects. Many have tried to solve the problem with better aircraft, while ICARUS allows pilots to be better prepared.
