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."
