Low-visibility conditions threaten commercial and business jet safety and flight efficiency, especially during takeoff and landing. Adding Collins' multi-spectral EVS-3600 to your head-up display (HUD) enables pilots to see through the worst conditions and fly their aircraft safely to more places without worrying about the visibility conditions.

Decreased costs

  • Lightweight, compact, and low-drag design minimises fuel consumption
  • Reliable design reduces repair and excludes routine maintenance
  • Reduced fuel consumption by avoiding delays and diversions

Operational efficiency

  • Operate your aircraft beyond the limitations of airport infrastructure
  • Improved traffic flow and efficiency at hub airports
  • Reduce grounded, delayed or rerouted flights due to current or forecast weather conditions

Hardware technology makes a difference

EVS hardware technology

Collins EVS-3600 offers multi-spectral imagery on your head-up display or Head-up Guidance System (HGS), increasing situational awareness and safety during any phase of your flight. Pilots can see through rain, fog or other low-visibility conditions with a real-time image of their surrounding environment. This advanced visual capability greatly improves safety margins, especially during approach, landing and takeoff.

With leading-edge technology, Collins EVS-3600 makes flying easier. Pilots gain 33% operational credit in CAT II or CAT III weather conditions, allowing approaches and landing below the normal decision altitude (DA) or decision height (DH). From takeoff to landing, Collins' Enhanced Flight Vision Systems (EFVS) increases pilot confidence and keeps passengers safer – even in the worst weather conditions.

Lightweight design for multiple platforms

EVS platforms ad

Now certified on Boeing 737 Next Generation (NG) , the Collins EVS-3600 is also designed for the Boeing 737 MAX family aircraft. Other certified platforms include Bombardier Global 7500 and Challenger 350. Collins' family of EVS sensors are also certified on the Embraer Praetor and have sole-source status on the Airbus A320 and A350 family of aircraft once certified.

EVS-3600 is exceptionally aerodynamic and lightweight, and it is designed to provide a high-performance, distraction-free, noiseless environment in the flight deck.

High return on investment

Collins EVS-3600 is a proven solution for operational efficiency. Pilots flying aircraft equipped with EVS‐3600 may take advantage of the lower operating minima for EFVS approach and landing regulations – enabling approach ban relief where authorised.

Investing in your pilots’ advanced visual capabilities and situational awareness provides a high return on investment (ROI) and adds value to your flight operations. Your EFVS equipped fleet's traffic will flow more efficiently with fewer accidents, delays and cancellations.

Collins EVS-3600 provides operational savings, including:

  • Lower fuel costs due to reduced weather-related delays and diversions
  • Fewer passenger accommodations for delayed or cancelled flights
  • Minimised repairs from hard landings, obstacle collisions or other accidental damage
  • Decreased maintenance costs from wear and tear on wheels, tires, brakes, flaps and engines
