Installation Available For Entire Piston Engine Line
One Sky Aviation announced today the award of FAA STC for
installation of the Forward.Vision EVS-100 (powered by Max-Viz)
Enhanced Vision System as an “All Models List” for the
entire Cessna single engine piston product line which includes the
100 series, 206, and 207 models, accounting for 158 individual
Cessna derivative airframes.
The STC was designed and developed by Cary Foster and Sharmaine
Vestal, Co-owners of One Sky Aviation, a full service aviation
maintenance facility based in Anchorage, Alaska. The STC was issued
through the Alaska ACO.
The EVS 100 is the first General Aviation second generation
product designed and manufactured by Max-Viz Inc. and marketed
exclusively by Forward.Vision of Russell, PA. The improvements in
this next generation EVS product sensor offer significantly
enhanced design features and upgrades driven directly by
operational experience of light aircraft pilots and operators
including active sensor processing and dynamic range management
software.
Cary Foster of One Sky Aviation states “As both the
STC developer and long term EVS operator, I can attest that the
enhanced level of situational awareness brought on by the effective
use of EVS products. Working cooperatively with the Anchorage ACO,
we have developed the most comprehensive AML STC to date for the
integration of Enhanced Vision technology. Installation of the
EVS-100 via this STC will have a dramatic impact on risk mitigation
and the enhancement of flight safety of pilots and passengers
around the World!”
