Ruag Aviation signed a dealership agreement with Jetcraft to market the HUD Vision Access for the Challenger 604 and 605. Under the agreement, Ruag will sell and install the enhanced flight vision system (EFVS), which includes a head-up display and infrared sensor. By enabling operations in low visibility, the system enables aircraft to taxi, take off and land “under all conditions,” Ruag said, improving safety. The HUD Vision Access also allows pilots to descend below decision height at “most airports” thanks to FAA landing credits for an approved EFVS.
