Max-Viz EVS Gains First Global Express Certification
Canadian authorities have approved the installation of a Max-Viz EVS-1000 enhanced vision system (EVS) aboard a Global Express.

Canadian authorities have approved the installation of a Max-Viz EVS-1000 enhanced vision system (EVS) aboard a Global Express. The U.S.-registered jet received the upgrade at ABC Completions in Montreal and gained Canadian approval in late December. An STC from the FAA covering the installation was expected by the end of last month.

Max-Viz CEO Jim Tuttle was careful to point out that the EVS installation in the customer Global Express is not meant to be a direct competitor to the Bombardier Enhanced Vision System (BEVS) now being tested by Bombardier and CMC Electronics. That system is used with the airplane’s head-up display and will be offered as a factory option.
