Kollsman
Kollsman Commercial Aviation
Systems has lowered the cost of
enhanced vision systems (EVSs)
with its new GAViS general avia-
tion vision system. The system
features an uncooled IR sensor,
an integrated window assembly
through which the IR sensor
obtains its imagery, an aero-
dynamic enclosure and built-in
electronics. The entire package
is self-contained and mounted to
the fuselage like aircraft antenna.
This minimizes the complex-
ity and cost of installation. The
system provides a 30-degree
field-of-view, which most closely
replicates that of the human eye.
Kollsman representatives
said the company currently is
pursuing GAViS system STCs
for single-engine turboprops up
through light jets and expects to
announce approvals soon.

Paperless Cockpit
Paperless Cockpit Inc. has
brought out a new wireless
Datalink Server that broadcasts
WSI weather and GPS data
throughout the aircraft via the

eliminates the complex wiring
problems associated with bring-
ing the benefits of electronic flight
bags (EFBs) to many aircraft.
The company also rolled out
its E-Board C2, which is a Class
1 or 2 wireless remote EFB. The
C2 features an 8.4-inch touch
screen with Paperless Cockpit’s
exclusive light-pipe technology,
delivering a bright, crisp, clear
display even in full sunlight con-
ditions. The E-Board C2 provides
access to a wide range of appli-
cations, such as WSI InFlight,
electronic checklists, weight and
balance and more.

mits the direct connection of a
portable music source, such as
an i-Pod, or a cellular phone or
