Cary Foster of One Sky Aviation http://www.oneskyaviation.com added “As a long standing EVS operator on One Sky’s aircraft, I can personally attest to the ability to avoid IMC conditions during nighttime VFR flight operations, and the CFIT avoidance capability of Max-Viz infrared EVS technology is second to none within the industry.”The performance at night will make you wonder how you ever operated without the EVS. It sincerely turns night into day and reduces stress levels like no other technology”.
