The EVS-1500 is a Dual Field of View Enhanced Vision System designed by pilots for improved situational awareness in all phases of rotary and fixed wing flight operations. The Max-Viz EVS-1500 sets the standard for Enhanced Vision Systems for aviation.

Based on thousands of hours of actual flight ex­perience, both in fixed and rotor wing operations, the Max-Viz EVS-1500 offers not only the best sensitivity and image clarity, but also pilot friendly features that enhance the system's performance in all the phases of flight; from taxi, to takeoff, through cruise, to approach and landing.

Features like a pilot selectable dual field of view; a feature that allows pilots to select wide angle or telephoto views of the world. The wide angle gives maximum peripheral visibility during ground opera-tions and the zoom provides early runway acquisi­tion and detection of incursions during takeoff, ap­proach and landing.

For current Max-Viz EVS customers, flying the EVS-1000, upgrade to the EVS-1500 is fast and easy. Identical in form to the EVS-1000, conversion to the EVS-1500 is simply a matter of replacing components and addition of one wire and switch. No additional structural modifications are required. New customers for the EVS-1500 will enjoy the benefit of installing new leading edge EVS system backed by thousands of hours of proven flight reli­ability on virtually every popular civil fixed and rotor wing turbine aircraft in operation today.
