Max-Viz EVS STC’d for Airbus AS350 Helicopters
Astronics’
Max-Viz 1200 and 1400 enhanced vision systems (EVS) have received STC approval
from the FAA and Transport Canada for installation in the Airbus Helicopters
AS350B/B1/B2/B3/BA/BD. The avionics manufacturer worked with Calgary,
Alberta-based Avio on the STCs.
The
Max-Viz 1200 and 1400 systems, which are lightweight and feature an uncooled
thermal camera, can output sensor images on any avionics displays that can
accept NTSC or PAL/analog RS-170 video signals. They provide improved safety by
enabling pilots to see terrain, obstacles, and airport environments more
precisely in adverse weather conditions such as haze, smoke, smog, and light
fog.
“Our
EVS is perfectly suited for aerial firefighting, heli-skiing, search and
rescue, and utility operations,” said Max-Viz business unit director Tom
Geiger. “The Astronics Max-Viz technology provides pilots with an unprecedented
level of situational awareness and safety.”
