ENHANCED VISION SYSTEMS

The General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC) believes Enhanced Vision (EV) and Synthetic Vision (SV) technology can significantly improve general aviation utility and reduce the chance of accidents during the night Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) operations. EV systems use sensors to provide a better view of the outside world. These aircraft-based sensors use near-infrared cameras or millimeter wave radar to provide vision in limited visibility environments. EV systems can identify terrain in weather, and detect wildlife or other obstructions on the runway. EV does however take some getting used to. You’ll have to make the transition to visual reference at some point, and that can be a challenge – especially if you’re not viewing the world through a Heads Up Display (HUD). Unlike EV, SV does not use sensors to “see” outside. Instead, SV relies on GPS information and a database to create a virtual representation of the outside world that you, as a pilot, would see. Using information from navigation databases, SV creates a picture of the flight environment and overlays that picture with the aircraft instrumentation and weather information to create a single image that contains all of the information necessary for safe flight operations. One key advantage is that SV can be installed in many aircraft with minimal expanse or effort.
