Embraer Awarded ANAC and FAA Certification for SVGS
Embraer announced that the Synthetic Vision Guidance System (SVGS) for the midsize Praetor 500 and super-midsize Praetor 600 business jets was awarded certification by both the civil aviation authority of Brazil, Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC), and the civil aviation authority of the U.S., the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Embraer is the first OEM to receive SVGS certification approval. The SVGS provides pilots with a dynamic perception of position, trend, and motion, facilitating the transition to utilising visual references and enabling the safe completion of more missions during inclement weather and lower ceiling approaches.
The system allows pilots to operate the aircraft to a decision height of 150 feet (SA-CAT I), increasing operational efficiency and allowing access to several airports during inclement weather and lower ceiling approaches. The SVGS can be used with or without the Head-Up Display (HUD) and is available for new aircraft and fully retrofittable on all Legacy 450, Legacy 500, Praetor 500, and Praetor 600 aircraft.
Independent of the Embraer Enhanced Vision System (E2VS), the SVGS is an optional addition to the Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion flight deck on the Praetor 500 and Praetor 600. The SVGS can be installed either with or without E2VS, delivering flexibility and safety options.
