The two systems were evaluated during three days of flight testing in September when Gulfstream and Honeywell experimental test pilots flew approaches at airports in nine American western states, including some with the most demanding mountainous environments.

Pres Henne, Gulfstream's senior vice president, programs, engineering and test, said, "The effect of using both systems simultaneously provides an unmatched magnitude of pilot situational awareness and a flight path that is always visible regardless of the conditions outside the cockpit window."

Gulfstream expects to certify its next generation EVS II later this year, and says its SV-PFD is scheduled for FAA certification by the end of the year as well, and should be available to customers in the second quarter of 2008.  11-12-2007.
