December 13, 2009
- Bombardier Aerospace announced the company has received Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) certification on the Bombardier Enhanced
Vision System (BEVS) and Head-up Display (HUD) for the Challenger 605
jet.

The
SureSight® CMA-2600i InfraRed camera provides superior sensitivity and
advanced processing of real-time images in darkness or low-visibility
conditions. The camera’s positioning on the upper portion of the
aircraft nose places the BEVS directly in line with the pilot's visual
reference point and makes cockpit views more natural. It provides images
of the approach, runway lighting and of terrain scenery that are
displayed on the pilot’s head up display (HUD) and on the co-pilot’s
Multi Function Display, a head-down display that provides the same level
of situational awareness for better communication during critical phases
of flight.
The BEVS HUD display features a wide field-of-view digital head-up
display with a liquid crystal display image source. The system provides
pilots with the same comprehensive flight-guidance symbology whether the
EVS image is displayed or not, offering improved situational awareness,
stable visual approaches, improved touchdown precision and greater
safety through eyes-out-of-the-flight-deck operation.
BEVS is being developed in cooperation with Rockwell Collins, the
overall HUD and Enhanced Vision System integrator, and Esterline CMC
Electronics, the supplier of the SureSight CMA-2600i Integrated Sensor
System, a new development of the currently certified CMA-2600.
The Challenger 605 jet features the widest stand-up cabin of any large
category business jet available today. It is equipped with the Pro Line
21 avionics suite and an all new cabin electronic system. This jet can
