We Don’t Need No Stinking VFR
Dassault Aviation, the legacy manufacturer of capable, tasteful, eminently French, military and business aircraft, has received FAA and EASA approval of FalconEye—an advanced, dual heads-up display—on its Falcon 8X very-long-range trijet. The system’s dual Heads-Up Display (HUD) configuration will ultimately permit an EFVS-to-land capability in near zero-zero conditions—pending ever-changing EASA regulations. Enhanced flight vision systems (EFVS, sometimes EVS) are collections of air-going gadgets that provide pilots a visual perspective of the flight-environment that exceeds in scope and clarity what can be seen with the naked eye.
