These technologies include auto flight systems and Head-Up Guidance Systems that enable the aircraft to reduce landing visibility from Runway Visual Range (also know as RVR4000) of 3/4 of a mile to 5/8 of a mile (RVR3000). Building on the performance benchmark set by the HGS on the Falcon 2000EX and the Falcon 900EX, the HGS for the Falcon 7X offers Low Visibility Takeoff guidance, enabling take off in visibilities of 300 ft Runway Visual Range (RVR), and all-weather approach and landing guidance in visibility as low as 600 ft RVR. Additionally, the FAA selected Teledyne Controls to supply its Runway Visual Range (RVR) system equipment in support of about 30 airport installations around the United States. |
