IFC-1   Intelligent Flap Controller  

Intelligent Flap Controller (IFC) is an electronic controller designed specifically to operate DC motor actuators, particularly the Van’s Aircraft series of Flap Actuators used in RV type homebuilt aircraft.   IFC connects to the standard up-off-(down) switches commonly used to control flap operation and directly drives a Van’s flap actuator.     IFC allows for Pilot and Co-pilot flap switches and resolves the possible conflicts if the switches are operated in opposite directions.   IFC requires NO flap position sensor and is fully compatible with Safety-Trim servo controllers.
