Flying Dassault's FalconEye Combined Vision System

EVS+SVS=EVO

Dassault’s FalconEye head-up display (HUD) in combined vision system mode, with both enhanced vision (EVS) and synthetic vision (SVS) displayed at the same time. The darker area on the bottom and around the runway is the EVS view, which includes a clear zone around the runway. SVS on top clearly depicts terrain, which wouldn’t be visible on an EVS-only HUD.

Since the advent of head-up displays (HUD) then enhanced vision systems (EVS) in business jets in 2001, aircraft manufacturers have pushed for technological advances that someday will allow pilots to fly all the way to touchdown on the runway without looking outside the airplane with natural vision.

The FAA has already paved the way for this technological development with the enhanced flight vision systems (EVFS) rules that it published in 2016. The new rules make it possible for pilots flying properly equipped aircraft to land in extremely poor visibility using a HUD and EFVS, essentially flying to the touchdown and rolling out while looking through the HUD at terrain and the runway and airport environment at images generated on the HUD and not by viewing the actual outside world shrouded behind the fog.
