Astronics Corporation announced that the Unites States and\nCanada approved Astronics’ Max-Viz 1400 and 1200 Enhanced Vision Systems (EVS)\nfor Airbus Helicopter’s AS350 \u00c9cureuil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In cooperation with AVIO dg in Calgary, Canada, Astronics\nobtained the Supplemental Type Certificates for its Max-Viz 1400 and 1200 EVS\nfrom the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Transport Canada\nCivil Aviation (TCCA) for approved models which are the Airbus \u00c9cureuil AS350B,\nAS350B1, AS350B2, AS350B3, AS350BA, and AS350BD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our EVS is perfectly suited for aerial firefighting,\nheli-skiing, search and rescue, and utility operations. The Astronics Max-Viz\ntechnology provides pilots with an unprecedented level of situational awareness\nand safety,” stated Tom Geiger, Max-Viz Business Unit Director for\nAstronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We worked closely with AVIO dg to get this terrific\ntechnology approved for daily missions on AS350s.” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Astronics’ Max-Viz 1200 and 1400 systems are lightweight,\nsolid-state, low power, and feature an uncooled thermal camera. The sensor\nimage displays on any cockpit equipment that accepts NTSC or PAL\/Analog RS-170\nvideo signals, including MFDs (Multi-Function Displays), PFDs (Primary Flight\nDisplays) or on standalone displays depending on aircraft configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Astronics’ Max-Viz EVS provides improved safety through\nenhanced vision, enabling pilots to see more precisely in adverse weather\nconditions, such as haze, smoke, smog, and light fog, even on the darkest\nnight. In addition, pilots can detect and avoid clouds for a smoother ride.\nWhile landing, pilots using the Max-Viz EVS can identify the runway and view\nthe terrain clearly to avoid wildlife and unlit obstructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAA permits properly equipped aircraft to fly certain\nInstrument Flight Rule (IFR) approaches to landing, in lieu of natural vision.\nOf the over 3,500 installed Astronics Max-Vis EVS systems, approximately 60\npercent are on fixed-wing general aviation aircraft and 40 percent are\noperating on rotor wing aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Supplemental and Type Certificates in both aircraft\ntypes, Astronics offers products built on more than 15 years of success in\nenhanced vision systems. To view the EVS offerings in detail, visit Astronics.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
