Bombardier is optimistic its recently developed enhanced vision system (Bombardier EVS) could be approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in the near future following completion of work by the multinational safety agency to grant approval of the system for situational awareness.
"They're starting to work on a rule, but for the moment the system will be used for situational awareness only," says Mark Schlegel, the senior engineering test pilot for Bombardier involved in the complex flight test and certification of the BEVS. The EASA action follows the 26 August US Federal Aviation Administration certification of the BEVS, which combines a CMC Electronics SureSight infrared sensor with a Thales head-up display (HUD).
