Duncan Aviation Installs First EVS-1000 System in a G-IVSP

April 15, 2005

BATTLE CREEK, MICH. — Duncan Aviation, an authorized Max-Viz dealer, recently completed the installation of the Max-Viz EVS-1000 system in a Gulfstream G-IVSP. The Duncan Aviation installations and engineering teams worked closely with the Max-Viz certification team to develop the STC for this installation.

"The Max-Viz team continues to be impressed by the professionalism of avionics sales, certification and installation teams at Duncan Aviation. Their support of the Max-Viz certification team has been outstanding and we are looking forward to the opportunity to pursue additional cooperative STC projects with Duncan Aviation," said Chuck Crompton, Regional Sales Manager of Max-Viz, Inc.

The EVS-1000 is the world's smallest and lightest Enhanced Vision System. It enables pilots to "see through" conditions of poor visibility such as haze, smoke, snow, rain, and the darkness of night. The Max-Viz EVS-1000 system uses uncooled, long-wave infrared sensors to gather data about runways, terrain and any potential obstacles on the ground or in flight. These images are enhanced, relayed and displayed on any video-capable display system in the cockpit. Please call Dennis DeCook at 269.969.8418 for more details on the system and installation.
