Recognizing the learning issues canopy students face when they start their journey from AFF to their first canopy, ICARUS Canopies has developed the EQUINOX specifically to allow a safer canopy piloting learning process. With a carefully balanced rectangular planform, the EQUINOX provides a soft but consistent short snivel deployment both with spring loaded and hand deployed pilot chutes. Its easy but lively handling at student wing loading airspeeds and high control range provides the student a great learning experience. EQUINOX forgiving flare characteristics complete an ideal learning tool for drop zones and flight schools.
