Icing Detection Technologies from IVS

It can detect ice immediately

• in flight, in the airspace around the plane (including ice crystals icing), and
• before takeoff, in the airframe, below snow that has accumulated during de-icing.

Immediate detection of ice can:

• Alert pilots when flying in conditions outside of the “classic” icing certification envelopes.
• Help pilots mitigate the negative effects of flight automation.
• Help aircraft manufacturers comply with the new ice detection requirements of 14 CFR Part 25.

The IVS technology also enables pilots to:

• Reliably detect ice crystals icing.
• Increase fuel efficiency and range by decreasing the use of bleed air.
