Smoke Training Gets Real with Klatt Works Mask

Realistic smoke training is difficult to achieve but can be done in simulators

Klatt Works — When faced with a cockpit smoke emergency, pilots can see critical flight information on the Klatt Works Smoke Assured Vision Enhanced Display, which puts a head-up display inside the oxygen mask.

Klatt Works has installed its Smoke Assured Vision Enhanced Display (SAVED), a head-up display built into an oxygen mask, in Gulfstream simulators at pilot training centers, giving crews a chance to practice landing with a cockpit full of smoke. The company also announced that FedEx has agreed to become the launch fleet customer for the SAVED system for its Boeing 767s.

SAVED masks are now FAA supplemental type certificate (STC) approved in the Boeing 777F and 767, as well as the Gulfstream G550. B757 and G650 STCs are underway, followed by additional Gulfstreams and other business jet models. Installations are available from Klatt Works dealers such as Altus Aerospace, Duncan Aviation, Gulfstream, and West Star Aviation.
