Portland, Oregon. 21 August 2009, Max-Viz announced today the Brazilian ANAC certification approval (2009S08-09) for the installation of the new EVS-1500 Enhanced Vision System on S-76 A and C helicopters associated with the One Sky Aviation STC# SR02322AK.

“The installation on the Aero Rio S-76 went very smoothly,” states Cary Foster, co-owner of One Sky Aviation based in Anchorage, Alaska. “We were extremely impressed with our first interaction with the Agência Nacional De Aviação Civil in Brazil,” who is responsible for certifying and approving U.S. STC’s for Brazil. “This first ANAC approval for the S-76 STC through One Sky Aviation will provide a significant enhancement for the available safety specific equipment to Brazilian operators,” said Elliott Troutman, President of Max-Viz.

Cary Foster of One Sky Aviation states, “this EVS availability to the S-76 operators within Brazil will have a dramatic impact on their overall operational flight safety.  As a long standing EVS operator on One Sky’s aircraft, I can personally attest to the ability to avoid IMC conditions during VFR flight operations, and the CFIT avoidance capability of Max-Viz infrared EVS technology is second to none within the industry.”

Max-Viz designs and markets the smallest, most reliable and affordable Enhanced Vision Systems for aircraft. The systems use real-time infrared sensors, signal processing, and a cockpit display to provide flight crews with actual images of terrain, runways, taxiways, aircraft and other potential obstacles much better than the naked eye during poor visibility conditions such as light fog, haze, smoke, brown / whiteout, light precipitation and darkness.
