7 Dec, 10Max-Viz and One Sky Aviation have announced the award of FAA STC # SR02377AK for the installation of Max-Viz EVS-1500 dual optical zoom infrared Enhanced Vision System (EVS) on Agusta A-109 series helicopters TCDS H7EU.
“This STC has been the most globally customer driven certification program we have initiated, with 4 additional follow on orders, with multiple systems, prior to the STC even being completed” states Bob Yerex, VP Sales for Max-Viz Inc. “We have received more requests for the A-109 series helicopter for EVS than just about any other grouping of aircraft combined”. “We are already available as a TC directly through the factory on both the A-109 and AW-139, but the requests for our EVS-1500 sensor on the legacy and aftermarket platforms have led us to the development of this new STC with One Sky Aviation”.
Cary Foster, owner of One Sky Aviation states “this launch A-109 aircraft includes all of the recent enhancements to our STC design to include latching logic relay electro-optical switches which allow us to incorporate one or more remote switches on the flight controls to control the field of view available in this EVS-1500 sensor”. “This is one of the most aesthetic and aerodynamic fairing we have produced, it blends so well with the fuselage and the inclusion of cyclic field of view selection switches significantly enhance the human factors aspects”.
