Control

No training scars from outside visual cues! The lightweight carbon fiber visor is designed to ensure you can’t see anything you won’t see in a cloud. Old hoods and foggles give pilots visual cues their brains automatically process for orientation. They are then training without having to develop as good of a IFR scan because of the extra information.

Realistic

What does a Smart View Limiting Device do for training? It brings the simulator into cockpit and closes the training gap. Before ICARUS you could:

Train in the aircraft with a hood/foggles/horse blinders. You didn't get a visuals replicating what it looks like flying into clouds, breaking out at the bottom of an approach or when the weather is just less than perfect.
Train in a simulator where you can dial in any weather scenario but even with "full motion" you couldn't replicate what it feels like to fly and your body knows it. Your mind also knows you are perfectly safe in the box.

Portable

With old training methods - you're only playing half the game.

Spatial Disorientation is caused by a disagreement between your inner ear and your eyes. To train to be resilient to it you need to simulate both of these sensory inputs. To be resilient in the clouds, you need ICARUS.

Documented progress

We built the ICARUS Device to give pilots good training for bad weather. Visual flight into instrument conditions is dangerous no matter who you are and what you are flying. Our Smart View Limiting Device prepares pilots to deal with this emergency by replicating the startle factor and enabling engrossing scenario-based training.

Simple to operate

ICARUS was engineered from day 1 for ease of use. Easy setup and operation gets you in the air training in no time.

Proven

Built for serious instrument pilots

Step up your training with an ICARUS Smart View Limiting Device! Set up is simple and the device is easy to use for immersive IFR, VFR into IMC, and Weather ADM training.
