FORWARD VISION EVS-100 NOW AN OPTION ON
AMERICAN CHAMPION FLEET
System Enhances Safety and Utility
|
Lakeland, FL
(April 24, 2009) Forward Vision System Inc.®, in
conjunction with
American Champion Aircraft, announced today
at the Sun N Fun Fly-In, that the EVS-100 enhanced
vision system will now be available on American
Champion Aircraft product line.
Forward Vision's CEO and President Patrick Farrell
stated, "We are very pleased that the
American Champion Aircraft customers will now
enjoy the additional level of safety and utility
that our EVS-100 enhanced vision system offers.
We're excited about the many applications for our
system in the American Champion aircraft, and we're
certain that
American Champion customers will feel the
same way". Farrell noted that -in addition to
helping pilots "see" at night and in limited
visibility conditions-using EVS has applications for
American Champion in back country operations, fish
and wildlife patrol, fire-spotting, and other
special-use flights.
Jerry Mehlhaff, vice president of engineering for
American Champion also is happy to be able to offer
the EVS-100 to his customers. "Finally there is an
economically feasible solution for American Champion
owners and pilots to have the advantages provided by
the EVS-100 enhanced vision systems. American
Champion's airplanes are known for their utility,
functionality, and value. The EVS-100 is yet
another way to promote those values as well as safe
operations for our customers." American Champion
will begin offering the EVS-100 as an OEM option
with a variety of display choices."
In fixed
wing and rotorcraft applications, pilots using
this
thermal imaging camera system are more
likely to prevent
runway incursions by: clearly identifying
runways, taxiways, buildings, parked aircraft,
and people while taxiing, taking off and landing
during night time and low visibility.
