• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

New Software Low-Visibility Landings

There are quite a few companies working on similar systems, including Garmin, Avidyne, Aspen Avionics and others. Garmin's system is called SVT (Synthetic Vision Technology), which does not include FLIR (Forward Looking Infra-Red) capability


Collins is developing a unique system called SVS (Synthetic Vision System) and is being developed for Bombardier's Global Express. What's primarily interesting about this system is that the SVS image is also being projected onto the HUD, which keeps the pilot's eyes out the window while still being able to "see" the results of the SVS image! :)

Thanks Bill. Interesting article and info you provided . It's amazing how technology has advanced so much over the years . I'm sure it has raised the safety factor considerably for both the commercial and the private aviation community .
