Enhanced Vision To Be Installed For Gulf Of Mexico ONG
Operator
Max-Viz and Auric Avionics & Instruments of New Orleans,
Louisiana, said Thursday that Max-Viz EVS-1500 systems will be
installed in a Sikorsky S-76 and three Bell 407 helicopters for use
in the Oil and Natural Gas (ONG) industry in the Gulf of
Mexico.
After diligent technology evaluation, Auric Avionics is
integrating the Max-Viz EVS-1500 into a Sikorsky S-76 and three
Bell 407 ONG platforms as the launch initiative for a regional Gulf
of Mexico fleet operator. “We have worked closely with
Max-Viz in integrating EVS into these platforms for an operator of
a fleet of ONG helicopters," said Sonny Schilleci, owner of Auric
Avionics. "After assessing the needs of the operator, and what
technologies would provide the most comprehensive solution, Max-Viz
EVS was a standout in the ability to enhance overall situational
awareness and operational flight safety for our customer. EVS was a
logical addition to both ADS-B and SVT (synthetic vision
technology) as a real time sensor technology that will aid our
customer both day and night in offshore operations. This operator
chose to add this significant technology to his already highly
modified fleet of helicopters as the ultimate safety
factor.”
“This has been an important step in further penetrating a
domestic market segment that will significantly benefit from the
inclusion of Enhanced Vision System technology," said Elliott
Troutman, President and CEO for Max-Viz.
