  • Hold for Release Until July 21, 2017 Wipaire's Laser Gear Advisory
    WIPLINE FLOATS • SKIS • MODIFICATIONS • AIRCRAFT SALES AVIONICS • INTERIOR • MAINTENANCE • PAINT REFINISHING Hold For Release Until July 21, 2017 Wipaire’s Laser Gear Advisory System Now Standard and Available for Retrofit South Saint Paul, Minnesota, July 21, 2017 – Wipaire, Inc.’s exclusive, safety-enhancing Laser Gear Advisory system is now included at no additional cost on new Wipline float purchases, and is available for retrofit on Wipline-equipped aircraft. Introductory pricing for retrofit kits is $4,995 uninstalled. The laser system may be installed at one of Wipaire’s two locations in South St. Paul, Minnesota, or Leesburg, Florida. Installation is $1,300-$1,500 depending upon aircraft model. “Designing exclusive, innovative product improvements has always been at the heart of what we do,” commented Clint Clouatre, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for Wipaire, Inc. “The Laser Gear Advisory system continues that tradition by enhancing the safety of Wipline floats. It gives busy pilots intelligent alerts of incorrect gear settings instead of repetitive statements that become easy to ignore. Utilizing laser technology accurate over various terrains, our new Laser Gear Advisory decreases the chance of an accident due to improper gear position.” Wipaire’s Amphibian Gear Advisory system, well-known for its “Gear is up for water landing” and “Gear is down for runway landing” annunciations, has long been standard equipment on all amphibious Wipline floats. The Laser Gear Advisory system, in contrast, remains quiet when the landing gear and detected surface are in agreement. The laser becomes active at approximately 400 feet above ground level and compares the gear position with the detected landing surface.
