ClearVision™ SkyLens

Overview

Intuitive Head-Up Avionics Suite

ClearVision is a complete Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) solution providing head-up capability combined with enhanced vision (EVS) and synthetic 3D terrain display (SVS). It features a large field-of-view, with the brightest and highest resolution HUD for commercial aircraft in the market. Its unique pilot-friendly split screen display allows the user to change between the two background imagery areas for optimal control. With the ClearVision system, overcome extreme weather conditions and low visibility situations – both day and night. Intuitive out-of-the-window flying is now possible.

The ClearVision suite is the market’s proven solution, selected by leading Part 25 platform manufacturers around the world.

Display Flexibility

The EVS interfaces with a variety of display options: traditional fixed HUD system, head-down flight display systems; or a wearable device like the 'near-to-eye' (NTE) SkyLens™ wearable display.

Efficiency & Safety

ClearVision EVS is designed to increase platform efficiency and safety, with the latest visual processing technology, meeting all FAA/EASA/ICAO/CAAC EVS or EFVS civil certification requirements.

• Unprecedented situational awareness in all weather conditions, day and night, during take-off, approach, and landing phases

Full Landing Procedures with No Natural Vision

As part of the NextGen roadmap, ClearVision aligns with Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) 91.176 released by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), enabling the operator to perform a full landing procedure with no natural vision, where the reported visibility is as low as 1000’. The ClearVision system offers unmatched capabilities, providing dispatch and landing approach priority as well as Low Visibility Landing regardless of the destination airport’s infrastructure.

Synthetic Vision System (SVS)

Terrain and Obstacle Images

ClearVision provides synthetic 3D images generated from a database of runways, obstacles, terrain, and flight plan information. Ready to be displayed on-time and on-need, the SVS offers enhanced terrain awareness throughout the flight operation.

• Extended centerline symbology
• Threshold markings
• Worldwide airport database
• Accurate visualization

Combined Vision System (CVS)

EVS + SVS

ClearVision's Combined Vision System is a unique and optimized solution for commercial aviation. Setting a new standard, the CVS combines both Enhanced Vision System (EVS) and Synthetic Vision System (SVS), providing a high-fidelity view of the outside world even when actual visibility is close to zero. It enables the operator to see the runway lights better in conditions impairing the visibility of unaided approach. This improves the pilots' ability to execute precision and non-precision approaches and safely land, reducing the risks of Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents.

Clearly divided into upper and lower windows, pilots can adjust the split between SVS on the top and EVS on the bottom to obtain the most useful imagery as weather and visibility conditions change. SVS and EVS image brightness are individually adjustable as well as EVS contrast and overall Head-Up Display (HUD) brightness. A CVD on/off button quickly clears the HUD of anything that might distract from the view out the windshield.
