Enhanced Vision System To Be Installed On An AW139
The 1,000th Max-Viz Enhanced Vision System (EVS)has been shipped
to AgustaWestland's factory in Italy, where it is expected to be
installed on an AW139 within the next few weeks. The milestone unit
is an EVS-1500.
“We are very proud of our product and the marketplace
acceptance that the shipment of this 1000th unit represents.
Enhanced Vision Systems have become accepted as a key tool for
being able to fly safely and avoid situations that could prove
dangerous for pilots of all experience levels.” said Elliott
Troutman, Max-Viz President & CEO. “The company has over
50 different certified aircraft installations covering more than
200 different aircraft types ranging from large VIP jets and
turbine helicopters, to small personal piston-driven aircraft.
While I hesitate to say the EVS industry has reached a tipping
point, I do think it is safe to say we are close. People are now
getting EVS.”
The market for EVS is growing and new suppliers are beginning to
enter the market. According to Max-Viz estimates, the total
commercial aircraft installed base - across all vendors – now
exceeds 1,700 systems.
EVS-1500
The Max-Viz EVS-1500 allows pilots to select optical wide angle
and telephoto views. The EVS-1500 and its predecessor, the
EVS-1000, are FAA certified and have been installed on a number of
rotary and fixed wing aircraft including models from Agusta
Westland, Bell, Bombardier, Boeing, Cessna, Dassault, Eurocopter,
Gulfstream, Hawker Beechcraft, Pilatus and Sikorsky.
The Max-Viz EVS-600 was designed specifically for the operating
environment of the general aviation community. This unit is also
FAA certified and has been installed on various piston driven
aircraft, among them the entire line of Cessna single engine piston
aircraft, selected Piper aircraft and the Robinson R-44. The
EVS-600 is available directly from the Cirrus factory on Garmin
Perspective TM equipped SR 20 and SR22 aircraft.
