Cessna has selected Max-Viz (Booth No. 3164) to provide its dual IR sensor-based enhanced vision system (EVS) as an option aboard the Citation X and Sovereign. The EVS-2000 will be offered beginning in 2003 on new Citation X and Sovereign aircraft, as well as a retrofit to Citation Xs already in service.

Gregg Fawkes, president of Max-Viz in Portland, Ore., said Wednesday that a firm list price on the EVS-2000 for the Cessna jets is not yet determined. The single-sensor Max-Viz EVS-1000 being installed and STC’d aboard a Canadair Challenger 601-3A by Total Aircraft Services at the Van Nuys, Calif. airport (VNY) carries an $84,000 price tag. Both systems use uncooled IR sensors. The EVS-2000 electronically combines imagery from a long-wave (8 to 12 microns) sensor and a short-wave sensor focused on 1.5 microns. Fawkes said the latter has proven to give the optimum detection and display of runway lights, which is essential for night and short RVR approach and landing.
