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 been certified for an Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) capability, allowing landings in weather with visibilities down to 100 feet.
- This EFVS is powered by Dassault's FalconEye Combined Vision System, the first head-up display (HUD) to fuse synthetic (database-driven terrain) and enhanced (thermal/low-light camera) images simultaneously.
- The FalconEye system, already available on several models and planned for the Falcon 6X, is expected to certify a dual HUD configuration next year to enable full approaches and landings without natural vision of the runway.
