Enhanced Vision System (EVS) AP 640 Camera

EVS AP 640 – Enhanced Flight Vision System Landing Assist

Adverse visual conditions contribute to roughly 20% of Approach and Landing Accidents (ALA). Visibility/Ceiling are the second largest cause in weather-related incidents, with close to 50% of Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) or Runway Safety (RS) incidents citing loss of situational awareness as a contributing factor. Unstable approaches have been identified as a critical safety factor in many Runway Excursion accidents and low visibility affects runway visual range (RVR), hindering approach and landing under harsh weather in the absence of an ILS.

Opgal’s EVS AP 640 ensures you’re cleared for landing. With our Enhanced Flight Vision System, pilots can see clearly through fog, smoke, sand, and all forms of precipitation, receiving keen-sighted visuals of over 1,200m (4,000ft) through the haze. Come hell or high water, EVS AP 640 will see you through a safe landing.

Features

Works in conjunction with the aircraft HUD & HDD
Suitable for both fixed and rotary wing aircraft
Minimizes dependency on airport instruments
Certified for landing minima on CAT II runways
Improves flight safety and situational awareness
Increases Decision Height or MDH to 100ft above TDZE
SA in proximity to mountains at night/fog, avoid IMC

Benefits

Avoid obstacles before GPWS/TAWS warnings with a clear visual picture of the environment.
On the ground and in flight, see live video of obstructions vs 2D GPWS visuals.
Anti-Blooming mechanism cancels interference afflicted by irrelevant sources of light and/or heat
Solid State technology with no routine maintenance requirements
Minimal training requirements

Why EVS AP?

The EVS AP 640 wide-spectrum infrared image is projected on any integrated Head-Up Display (HUD), or Head-Down Display (HDD), offering intuitive out-of-the-window flying, directly minimizing the dependency on airport instruments, and reducing flight and landing minima. Day or night, EVS AP 640 improves flight safety and situational awareness – both in the air and on active taxiways and runways.
