Questions

Everything you need to know about ICARUS and how it works: A comprehensive guide to understanding this innovative system
Will it fit my helmet?
The visor attaches securely to any standard hat or helmet with the included mounting hardware. It’s designed to sit comfortably without shifting during flight, and the carbon fiber frame won’t add noticeable weight to your gear.

The power control unit delivers eight hours of continuous operation on a single charge. That’s enough for a full training day without stopping to recharge between flights.

Yes. The power control unit has a black button for manual control, letting you switch between automated scenarios and hands-on operation instantly. Your instructor can also control everything through the app.
The ICARUS app automatically records your instrument meteorological conditions time for every flight. Your training hours are logged and ready whenever you need them for your records.
The polymer dispersed liquid crystal film is durable, but handle it by the frame or mount to avoid damage. If issues arise, contact us about replacement options and warranty coverage for your device.
How do I get product support?

Standard mounting hardware works with any hat or helmet you already own. The visor sits securely without shifting, and the lightweight design means you won’t notice it’s there once you’re focused on your instruments.
The USB port on the power control unit connects to any standard charger. A full charge takes roughly two hours and delivers six hours of uninterrupted training time in the cockpit.
The app gives you full control over visibility levels and transition times, but the manual button on the power control unit works independently. You can train either way depending on your scenario and instructor preferences.
The carbon fiber frame and electrical components carry standard coverage against manufacturing defects. The PDLC film requires careful handling, but we stand behind our product and support you if something goes wrong.
