Sun and Fun, Lakeland Florida April 2, 2019.
TechPlace manufacturer of composites aircraft floats Clamar Floats today announced the Clamar IQ System™, a family of electronics designed to increase the safety of amphibious seaplane operations by assisting pilots during critical phases of flight when distractions can have disastrous consequences.
The current release helps pilots avoid the two most common landing mistakes; improper gear position and improper landing techniques over glassy water. The IQ System™ provides aural, visual and tactile feedback to the pilot during these operations to ensure gear is in the proper position for the intended landing and announcing height above the landing surface during final approach. These systems are tightly integrated into Clamar’s family of composite floats and extend the company’s position as the leader in high performance floats for the experimental aircraft market.
“The Clamar name has been synonymous with quality and innovation for decades,” states Paul Richards. President of Clamar Floats. “High performance composites, thermally molded foam cores, vacuum infusion and electric gear actuation are a few of the innovations we’ve invested in to increase value for our customers, but what is more valuable than safety? We feel an obligation to provide not only the highest quality, but the safest floats in the industry and the Clamar IQ system is a huge step forward. The Gear IQ and Landing IQ address the two most critical challenges in amphibious operational safety and we wanted to address these first….but there will be more to come in the Clamar IQ™ family so stay tuned.”
