Evolution Synthetic Vision
3-D Situational Awareness Made Affordable: Now standard on all new Aspen MAX displays!
Evolution Synthetic Vision (ESV) is an optional expansion to the Evolution Flight Display System. ESV presents a real-time, computer-generated 3D view of terrain, obstacles, and traffic. The synthetic rendering simulates the view from the cockpit on a bright day, so it’s especially helpful when flying during conditions of reduced visibility or darkness.
Overview
Evolution Synthetic Vision
Evolution Synthetic Vision (ESV) is an optional
expansion to the Evolution Flight Display System. ESV
presents a real-time, computer-generated 3D view of
terrain, obstacles, and traffic. The synthetic rendering
simulates the view from the cockpit on a bright day, so
it’s especially helpful to provide enhanced situational
awareness when flying during conditions of reduced
visibility or darkness.
Built-in Terrain Warning System
ESV comes standard with an integrated Terrain
Warning System that combines terrain and flight path
marker coloring, caution and warning text, and an
audio warning signal, to alert you when terrain or
obstacle collision is imminent.
Unique Flexible Display Layouts
User-configurable screen layouts allow you to specify
which PFD and/or MFD screen areas you wish to
display synthetic vision. Choose between wide and
normal field of view settings to control the level of
detail you prefer. And you can choose to display ESV
simultaneously on both the PFD and MFD.
Simple, Easy Upgrade
Your Authorized Aspen Avionics Dealer can easily
upgrade your Evolution Flight Display installation via
each display’s front-loading micro SD slot.
