Enhanced Vision System Available for Legacy Aircraft
Universal Avionics has announced their Supplemental Type Certification approval for AerAware on the Boeing 737NG, an Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) powered by their ClearVision tech.
They say it's the "world’s first EFVS to achieve a 50% reduction in minimum visibility requirements and the first aircraft to be certified with a complete dual-pilot EFVS solution featuring a wearable Head-Up Display." The ClearVision system as offered for 737NGs includes a pair of SkyLens Head-Wearable Displays (HWD) and an EVS-5000 multispectral camera, providing pilots with day/night visibility throughout all phases of flight.
“Certified for EFVS operations all the way to touchdown and rollout in low visibility conditions, ClearVision improves accessibility to most airports and increases approach capacity at congested airports, leading to fewer delays,” said Dror Yahav, Universal Avionics CEO. “AerAware serves as the only commercially viable retrofit solution that substantially increases situational awareness during low visibility operations for thousands of 737NG, including over one hundred Boeing Business Jets, reducing natural visibility requirements on approach and increasing safety.”
"This marks a milestone achievement for AerSale as we announce the FAA’s issuance of a Supplemental Type Certificate for AerAware™.” stated Nicolas Finazzo, AerSale’s Chief Executive Officer. “I am proud of our team and grateful to our partners and the FAA for their tireless effort to complete a comprehensive and robust certification process and bring AerAware to its commercialization phase.”
