Max-Viz -- makers of Enhanced Vision Systems for aircraft using real-time infrared sensors, signal processing, and a cockpit display to provide flight crews with actual images of terrain, aircraft, and other potential obstacles during poor visibility conditions -- has named Lou Churchville its new VP of Sales for the company.

Max-Viz President and CEO Jim Tuttle said "The employees of Max-Viz are -- to a person -- passionate about aviation and dedicated to improving our industry with affordable Enhanced Vision Systems. Lou shares that passion. He is a seasoned aviation business development professional with over 20 years of avionics and airframe modification and maintenance sales experience, backed by a solid flight operations background that includes corporate and charter flight operations Pilot-In-Command flight experience."

A graduate of the University of Maryland at College Park, Lou began his commercial flying career as an Ag pilot in the southeastern United States, as well as flying overseas in North Africa. He later gained corporate and charter operations flight experience with Page Airways in Rochester, New York and Washington D.C.

According to a company release, Churchville is a CFI and has logged over 4500 hours of flying time.

Commenting on his move, Lou said, "From the beginning, good visibility has been a cornerstone of safe, reliable aircraft operations. The certified Enhanced Vision Systems available from Max-Viz today provide a quantum improvement to flight crew situational awareness during times of reduced visibility. The better you see, the safer you can fly.'

"It is truly a privilege to join the Max-Viz team and to represent this product in the market."
