TAG Aviation (UK) has been granted approval to use less restrictive instrument approach minimums, in line with EASA regulations. The approvals only apply on aircraft fitted with HUD/EVS technology.
Enhanced vision systems (EVS) incorporate sensing technology to improve a pilot’s ability to detect objects – such as runway lights or terrain – that may otherwise not be visible. The image produced from the sensor and/or image processor can be displayed to the pilot in a number of ways including use of a HUD.
As part of the approvals process TAG Aviation developed a training programme, associated operational techniques and standard operating procedures in order to equip its crews with the skills and knowledge required to effectively operate these systems.
“The HUD/EVS approval and training permits crews to fly to an approach in visibility worse than the normal minimum, allowing a decent of 100′ above the runway in bad weather, rather than the usual 200′.”
Captain David Clarke, deputy chief pilot said: “The HUD/EVS approval and training permits crews to fly to an approach in visibility worse than the normal minimum, allowing a decent of 100′ above the runway in bad weather, rather than the usual 200′.”
