Close on the heels of FAA approvals by Honeywell and Garmin for the avionics manufacturers’ respective synthetic-vision systems (SVS), two more companies have joined the fray with 3-D primary flight presentations of their own.

Avidyne and L-3 Avionics Systems used EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis., in late July as the venue to unveil software upgrades for their integrated glass avionics systems. In addition to SVS, Avidyne also announced an optional enhanced-vision system (EVS) upgrade, demonstrating both of these capabilities at the show on large-format 15-inch integrated flight displays.
