Safe Flight Introduces Ice Conditions Detector at EBACE
New Safe Flight device alerts pilots before ice can form.

Safe Flight Instrument (Booth 5251) introduced at EBACE 2014 its new Icing Conditions Detector (ICD). The patented optical ICD provides an alert that icing conditions exist before ice can accrete on the aircraft. Comprised of a single line replaceable unit, the system is ideal for operations in all modes of flight, according to Safe Flight.

Meanwhile Safe Flight has also announced that Canadian manufacturer Viking Air selected the company’s angle of attack (AoA) system as standard equipment for the Viking Series 400 Twin Otter twin turboprop. The fully qualified and TSO’d AoA system is comprised of a lift transducer, computer and speed indexer. The speed indexer provides the pilot heads-up guidance to approach AoA and the computer provides Arinc outputs to drive low airspeed awareness and AoA displays on the primary flight display.
