Get hands-on with a Vigil Cuatro AAD interface before you touch the real thing. Guided lessons, scenarios, and a free-play device to build confidence on the ground.
AADLab Vigil is an independent, interactive training simulator that recreates the on-device interface of a modern skydiving Automatic Activation Device (AAD), modelled on the Vigil 2 Cuatro, so you can learn how it works without a real unit in your hands.
Whether you are a student building confidence, a licensed jumper getting familiar with the device, or an instructor demonstrating setup, AADLab Vigil lets you press the button, read the dot-matrix display, and work through the full configuration flow as many times as you like.
GUIDED TRAINING LESSONS
Hands-on, step-by-step lessons for each task:
- Switching the device on and off
- Reading the device information screens
- Selecting the operating mode (Pro, Student, Tandem, Xtreme)
- Setting the measurement units
- Adjusting the altitude correction (Alt Cor) for the landing area
- Flipping the display orientation
DECISION SCENARIOS
Realistic situations that test the method, not just the buttons. Work out the right mode and altitude correction for different take-off and landing elevations, and learn to recognise when a jump falls outside the device's limits.
PLAYGROUND
A free-play device you can set up however you like (mode, units, altitude correction, display orientation and more) to explore at your own pace.
BUILT FOR SKYDIVERS
- Faithful recreation of the LCD dot-matrix display and control button
- Works entirely offline, with no account and no data collection
- Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Russian
- Calm, customisable animated backgrounds
