AerSale®, a provider of aviation products and services, has released that the FAA has issued AerSale a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for AerAware, the company’s revolutionary Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) for the Boeing B737NG product line. This achievement marks the world’s first commercial EFVS system to achieve a 50% visual advantage (over un-aided natural vision) and the first large transport aircraft to be certified with a complete dual-pilot EFVS solution featuring a head-wearable display.
AerSale developed the AerAware™ certification programme under license with The Boeing Company, which included access to necessary technical services, maintenance and engineering data. The certification of AerAware is the result of a collaboration with Universal Avionics, an Elbit Systems company, which features the integration of ClearVision™ technology developed by its team, including dual SkyLens™ head-wearable displays and a state-of-the-art EVS-5000 multispectral camera providing heads-up capability to overcome low visibility – both day and night. AerAware incorporates synthetic-vision, and enhanced-vision systems along with primary flight display symbology, resulting in a user-controlled combined-vision system that substantially increases situational awareness during all phases of flight including low visibility operations.
AerAware’s benefits include enhanced safety, reduced operating costs, better airline efficiency and environmental advantages. The system’s core capability is its capacity to enhance safety and situational awareness during all phases of flight and not just limited to low visibility weather conditions. Moreover, the AerAware EFVS system aligns with the FAA’s Next-Generation Air Transportation System project as an operational improvement initiative related to improved approaches and low-visibility operations. It is a key strategic aspect of the FAA’s Human Systems Integration Roadmap envisioned to achieve the transformation of the national airspace system.
