Dassault’s Falcon 900LX, Falcon 2000LXS and Falcon 2000S have been recently certified by both EASA and the FAA for an enhanced flight vision system (EFVS) capability that greatly improves access to airports in bad weather. With the new certification, these aircraft will be able to land in weather with visibilities down to 100 feet. The new EFVS capability, provided through Dassault Aviation’s FalconEye Combined Vision System (CVS) and its combination of six fused sensors, was previously certified on the Falcon 8X ultra-long range trijet following the completion of joint EASA/FAA trials last year.

Key Takeaways:
- Dassault's Falcon 900LX, 2000LXS, and 2000S jets have received EASA and FAA certification for an Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS).
- This new EFVS capability, powered by Dassault's FalconEye Combined Vision System, allows these aircraft to land in weather with visibilities down to 100 feet, greatly improving airport access.
- FalconEye is the first head-up display to combine synthetic, database-driven terrain mapping with enhanced thermal and low-light camera images, offering superior situational awareness.
- Future developments anticipate a dual head-up display certification for an "EFVS-to-land" capability, enabling approaches and landings without any requirement for natural vision.
