Icarus Instruments, Inc., in association with Flight Explorer, has introduced Sky Connect TRACKER, the world's first flight tracking system providing continuous service anywhere, from the North Pole to the South Pole. Using Flight Explorer, a leading provider of Internet-based real-time flight tracking information, Sky Connect TRACKER combines FAA-sourced IFR traffic with the full-time satellite tracking of VFR and IFR aircraft.

Two-way messaging, aircraft systems status, and Mayday alerting are supported for all TRACKER-equipped aircraft. Demonstrations of TRACKER's features are being shown in the Icarus Instruments Sky Connect booth #2350 at the Heli-Expo in Dallas, TX.

Sky Connect TRACKER is adaptable to any type of flight operation, from medical evacuations to regional commuters to international charters. TRACKER enables aircraft owners and fleet operators to fully customize update rates, event alarms, and status checks to meet their safety and operational requirements.

"Sky Connect TRACKER provides the complete flight operations picture to authorized users on any PC connected to the Internet," says Stephen Silverman, CEO of Icarus Instruments. "For flight safety, operational efficiency, and mission management, TRACKER is the most cost-effective solution for any company with one or more aircraft. We are especially excited to bring TRACKER to the international aviation marketplace in partnership with the great team at Flight Explorer". 

Walter Kross, president and CEO of Flight Explorer, said "Many of our customers operate globally and this offers them a very cost-effective way of tracking their aircraft no matter where they are in the world.  This is critical to the effective management of their aircraft. We are delighted to be able to offer this to our customers."
