EVS-100 Comparative

Various sections of a flight comparing what the EVS-100 sees to actual conditions you would see looking out the windshield.

The EVS-100 offers pilots of General Aviation aircraft to
See and prevent runway incursions by clearly identifying runways, taxiways, buildings, parked aircraft, and people while taxiing, taking off and landing during night time and low visibility. Runways, buildings, clouds, lakes, and fields can be identified while airborne on approach, greatly enhancing situational awareness and pilot safety during critical flight operations.

See and avoid nighttime cloud buildups for smooth ride
Avoid inadvertent flight into IMC
Clearly see through Smoke and haze
Fly at Night like it's a VFR Day

trees, mountains, cloud layers, other air traffic, deer or other runway obstructions, birds, gps outage, gps database imperfections...all would be benefits of EVS over a synthetic computer database based upon gps. They are additive and complementary technologies and one day will be fused into one image. (already in R & D)

I don't see the benefit of this when compared to a SVT unit. With a SVT you don't need a thermal signal and it can "box" you right to the runway surface.

Any thoughts out there?

Kollsman has some vids on their website including k o l l s m a n .c o m/products/Sensor-Systems-Elec­tro-Optics/clips/snow-high.mpg (sorry had munge the URL to get it by Youtube

Looks good. But, before I declare myself a believer, I need to see this applied to 1/4sm snow; and, 1/4sm ice fog. Real PANC weather!!!
