FORWARD VISION ANNOUNCES
CESSNA STC/AML FOR 100/200 SERIES AIRCRAFT
|
Russell, PA., June 15, 2009: Forward Vision
Systems, Inc announced today the issuance of a
Supplemental Type Certificate ("STC") for
installation of its Enhanced Vision Systems on most
single-engine Cessna model aircraft.
"Our team is thrilled to offer safer skies to
upward of 40,000
Cessna
aircraft owners", noted Patrick Farrell, CEO
and Founder. "With this STC, Forward Vision affirms
its position as the industry leader in making this
safety technology available to GA pilots around the
world-and we welcome Cessna operators to our
family." Farrell noted that this latest STC
includes all 158 models of Cessna 100 and 200 series
models except the 208 and P210 models, the latter
being handled under separate STC initiatives to be
completed soon.
EVS systems -commonly known as infrared or thermal
imaging cameras-turn night into day for the pilot
and help to penetrate haze, fog, smoke and
precipitation 8 to 10 times further than the human
eye. Easily installed (like an antenna) and
intuitive to use, Forward Vision's EVS 100/600
systems utilize military-grade
infrared detectors, are "sunlight safe," and
offer excellent gray scale for remarkable detail and
sensitivity. Though EVS has been available in
business jets for some time, the Forward.
Vision.® EVS-100/600 systems are designed
specifically for use in light
general aviation aircraft.
The Cessna STC follows the success of a Company
announcement earlier this year for an STC on Cirrus
models. At Sun N Fun, world-renowned airshow
performer
Patty
Wagstaff announced her support of the Forward
Vision EVS-100, which she is installing on her
personal SR22 Cirrus. "The reason I am still here
doing what I love to do, besides the constant
practicing", said Wagstaff, "is I have taken time to
investigate and then equip my aircraft to the safest
possible standards. The Forward-Vision
EVS-100, like the parachute on my Cirrus, gives me
one additional level of safety".
The Cessna STC for the Forward Vision EVS-100 was
developed in conjunction with
One
Sky Aviation. The Company anticipates STC
kit availability to be imminent, and noted that
installation can be done by virtually any qualified
aircraft maintenance facility in
approximately one day.
