Adventure Pilot is partnering with SA Photonics for demonstrations of its next-generation PilotVision display at next week's AirVenture festivities. This system is reportedly a high resolution, wide field of view, daylight readable color head mounted display that attaches to aviation headgear providing pilots with added situational awareness. The PilotVision system interfaces wirelessly with the Adventure Pilot iFly GPS electronic flight bag, providing a heads-up display (HUD) that contains information on altitude, attitude, speed, terrain, traffic, airspaces and many other pieces of flight data in a head’s up, eyes out, manner. Users can
continue to use their existing iPad, Android or Windows display hardware running iFly GPS and can seamlessly add on the PilotVision HUD. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
