sunlight safe and has excellent resolution

technology similar to the Max Viz EVS
1500-the EVS of choice on many jets and
turbine helicopters-the EVS 100/600 is the
perfect choice for the Robinson helicopter
pilot who appreciates the value of being
able to “see” at night and in reduced visi-
bility conditions.” Cary Foster of One
Sky Aviation, who holds this STC,
worked with Forward Vision and Flight
Display Systems, Inc on the STC for the
Robinson R44 engineering and installa-
tion. He stated, “ Working cooperatively
with the Anchorage ACO, we have devel-
oped the STC for the integration of this
Enhanced Vision technology. Installation
of the EVS-100/600 via this STC will
have a dramatic impact on risk mitigation
and the enhancement of flight safety of
Robinson pilots and passengers around the
world” Flight Display Systems provided
the display used for installations where
presentation on an MFD is not an option.
“Our Flipper LCD offers a crisp image on
a 5-inch screen that is highly visible and
easy to install,” David Gray, president of
Flight Display Systems explained. “It
folds down when not in use and flips into
position when needed.”
STC installation kits are being pro-
duced at this time and EVS systems are
in stock.
