Business Wire
AerSale® Corporation (NASDAQ: ASLE) (the “Company”), a leading
provider of aviation products and services, is proud to announce a
groundbreaking achievement in aviation safety and efficiency. The
Company has successfully achieved a 50% visual advantage in low
visibility operations over the naked eye for its AerAware™ Enhanced
Flight Vision System (EFVS) on the Boeing B737NG aircraft, a first
in commercial aviation1. AerSale developed AerAware under license
with The Boeing Company which included access to necessary
technical services, maintenance, and engineering data.
Visual advantage is defined as the difference between what a
pilot can see using an EFVS as compared to what can be seen with
the naked eye. The 50% visual advantage breakthrough was achieved
through a collaboration with Universal Avionics and Elbit Systems
on AerSale’s AerAware STC. The system features the Elbit Systems /
Universal Avionics ClearVision™ EVS-5000 multispectral camera and
involved years of meticulous research, development, and extensive
testing, underscoring AerSale and Universal Avionics’ unwavering
commitment to improving aviation safety and reliability.
The EVS-5000 multispectral camera used in the AerAware EFVS
system employs advanced sensor technology and sophisticated image
processing algorithms to deliver a clear, enhanced view of the
external environment, including runways, terrain, and other
aircraft, in all conditions and during all phases of flight.
While there are a several key benefits to AerAware, safety
stands as the cornerstone of the system, providing complete
situational awareness under all circumstances and all phases of
flight and extending beyond the challenges of low visibility
operations. The system's fundamental enhancement lies in its
ability to bolster safety and situational awareness consistently,
rather than solely during inclement weather conditions.
Key benefits of AerAware's Enhanced Flight Vision System:
Enhanced Safety: With a 50% visual advantage, the EFVS
substantially improves pilot situational awareness, reducing the
risk of accidents in all conditions (and not just those where
visibility is limited) during all phases of flight and reduces the
dispatch minimums by 50%.
Efficiency: Pilots can confidently land and take off in
adverse conditions, leading to fewer delays and cancellations and
ultimately saving time and resources.
Cost Savings: AerAware minimizes the potential of delays
or diversions therefore reducing the need for expensive alternate
transportation/hotel arrangements when flights are impacted by
adverse weather, ultimately benefiting both airlines and
passengers.
Environmental Impact: Enhanced route efficiency during
adverse weather contributes to lower fuel consumption and carbon
emissions, aligning with the aviation industry's commitment to
sustainability and ESG.
Nicolas Finazzo, AerSale’s Chief Executive Officer, said, "We
are pleased to announce this significant achievement in aviation
technology and safety. Our AerAware EFVS represents a game-changer
for the industry, redefining what's possible in terms of flight
safety and operational efficiency. This milestone could not have
been achieved without the support and commitment of the talented
teams at Elbit Systems / Universal Avionics and reflects our
combined dedication and commitment to innovation and providing the
most advanced solutions to our customers."
While final approval by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) of the AerAware STC for the Boeing B737NG is pending, the 50%
visual advantage milestone for the EFVS is poised to revolutionize
aviation and set new standards for safety and efficiency. This is
the first system approved by the FAA for a 50% visual advantage and
the only system approved at 50%.
About AerAware™ EFVS
AerAware is an EFVS solution that enables commercial aircraft
pilots to overcome degraded visibility situations day and night,
allowing them to move in and out of airports faster, saving time
and increasing operational efficiency and safety. The revolutionary
system presents advanced imaging technology along with real-time
aircraft primary flight systems data onto Elbit Systems/Universal
Avionics SkyLens™ Head Wearable Displays in both the captain and
first officer positions. SkyLens™ enables pilots to continuously
operate heads-up and monitor primary flight information while
retaining situational awareness of terrain. This groundbreaking
EFVS incorporates multispectral ClearVision™ camera imaging, along
with 3D synthetic vision, to provide unprecedented pilot
situational awareness when operating AerAware-equipped aircraft in
instrument conditions. With AerAware, instrument-approach visual
references are revealed significantly earlier to pilots than with
natural, out-of-window viewing. This enables pilots to descend
below published natural vision instrument approach minimums.
