Company Has STC's For 165 Aircraft
Max-Viz, which makes the EVS-100 and dual-wave length EVS-600,
confirmed Monday that Forward. Vision will continue to be the
exclusive sales channel and customer support provider to
aftermarket and selected OEM’s for the EVS-x00 product line
to GA.
Max-Viz president and CEO Elliott Troutman said ”Forward.
Vision. was our number one customer for EVS-100/600 products during
2009. We look forward to their continued growth and to the
proliferation of this life saving technology throughout the General
Aviation market.” Troutman pointed to Forward Vision’s
numerous successes in marketing the product to a wide audience,
citing as a notable example AOPA’s selection of the EVS-100
for installation on its 2009 Sweepstakes Cirrus.
EVS systems--commonly known as infrared or thermal imaging
cameras--present a real-time picture outside the cockpit to offer
the pilot a view that penetrates haze, fog, smoke and precipitation
8 to 10 times farther than the unaided human eye. In flight, pilots
can use EVS to avoid clouds, fly between layers, and note detailed
ground features out of the night landscape. EVS offers daytime
safety advantages as well, allowing a clear view to the pilot in
reduced visibility such as smoke, haze or even thin fog.
The EVS 100 provides an infrared 40° x 30° field of
view; the EVS 600 adds to that the ability to distinguish visible
light fused to the infrared image and presenting both on the
display. Forward Vision CEO Pat Farrell added, “We’ve
made significant strides this year in bringing EVS into mainstream
use by virtue of the numerous STC’s now available for its
certified installation on production airframes.” Farrell
noted STC’s cover well over 75% of the light aircraft fleet,
including Cirrus, Cessna, Beech fixed-wing, and Robinson
rotorcraft. He added, “And we have more STC’s on the
way. We believe all pilots can benefit from this proven technology
to help them “see” better in reduced visibility."
