Max-Viz and One Sky Aviation have cooperatively agreed to a minimum 25% discount off MSRP for Enhanced Vision Systems to include Max-Viz EVS sensors (100 / 600 / 1500) and fully certified STC installation kits to active members of the Alaska Air Carriers and the Alaska Airmen’s Associations for the remainder of 2010 in response to the recent spike in state-wide accidents.
“Cooperatively, both One Sky and Max-Viz are putting safety ahead of profits in an attempt to further enhance the tremendous efforts of both the AACA and the Airmen’s Associations†states Bob Yerex, VP Sales for Max-Viz. “The loss of Senator Ted Stevens, one of the most endeared statesmen and true Patriarch’s of Alaska history in a tragic aviation accident has spurred us into this cooperative concessionâ€.
“Max-Viz has a significant investment in Alaska, having cooperatively teamed with Cary Foster of Anchorage based One Sky Aviation to develop and certify our infrared Enhanced Vision Systems (EVS) product line on both general and business aircraft and helicoptersâ€, states Yerex. “Having spent nearly 10 years flying SAR here in Alaska, I have a defined personal investment which is continued through the Alaska Air Carriers Association and very cooperative relationship with the FAA in Anchorageâ€.
Cary Foster, owner of One Sky Aviation states “we were provided the opportunity to develop these EVS STC’s on platforms as varied as single engine Cessna’s through S-76 helicopters and transport category multi-engine turbine aircraftâ€. “Having personally known and worked closely with Bob Yerex for over 25 years has clearly been an advantage with One Sky Aviation / Max-Viz cooperatively having received Certification for nearly 200 separate aircraft including the entire single engine Cessna product line (minus early rag-wings and the P-210) among many othersâ€.
One Sky has completed international certifications to include Brazilian approval for the S-76 and is working on an EC-135 STC for a customer in Argentina. Foster was awarded the Mechanic of the Year this past spring for his colossal commitment and contribution to the safety of Alaska aviation through the tireless work on these STC installation certifications.
Max-Viz (www.max-viz.com) designs and markets the smallest, most reliable and affordable Enhanced Vision Systems for aircraft. The systems use real-time infrared sensors, signal processing, and a cockpit display to provide flight crews with actual images of terrain, runways, taxiways, aircraft and other potential obstacle than the naked eye during poor visibility conditions such as light fog, haze, smoke, brown / whiteout, light precipitation and darkness.
