Why pilots install VICS?

VICS provide sounds and speech cues to ease pilot overload by providing timely updates and warnings related to airplane attitude, speed, engine and other parameters. In some aircraft accidents, pilot overload is known to be a contributing factor. Cross country flying, busy airspace and flying over unfamiliar terrains may all require increased attention from pilots over a certain period of time, when pilot is already fatigued.

VICS system will provide advisory messages and alarms to pilots, when aircraft is not being flown safely or efficiently, and could mitigate the risks associated with pilot overload.

When equipped with precise LiDar altimeter sensor, VICs will provide annunciation of the current altitude during final approach to landing from 100ft and down to runway.

This feature allows to perform a smooth touchdowns on any runway day or night since pilot stays in control of his altitude with up to 1/10 of a foot tolerance. Please note that this feature requires VICs connection with any supported EFIS.

Please note: VICS module provides an advisory information to pilot when triggered, however it is solely the pilot’s responsibility to verify and assess the real situation and react accordingly. Any electronic system may introduce mistake due to malfunction. Pilot should assess’ various available information before making a decision.
