Abstract
An emergency visual assurance apparatus for an aircraft cockpit comprises an inflatable enclosure having inflated and deflated states. The enclosure is adapted to fill the visual path between a pilot and an instrument panel and/or a windshield of an aircraft when in the inflated state. The inflatable enclosure includes windows for permitting the pilot to see through the enclosure, thereby enabling the pilot a clear path of visibility to the instrument panel and/or the windshield during a smoke emergency in the cockpit. A blower is provided for inflating the inflatable enclosure with transparent fluid during an emergency to maintain the visual path between the pilot and the instrument panel and/or the windshield. A separable member is associated with the blower such its removal activates the blower.
