WG-79
Avionics

Enhanced Vision Systems (EVS), Synthetic Vision System (SVS)

WG-79 is tasked to develop MASPS-level guidance for SVS, EFVS, EVS and combined architectures to identify intended operations and systems architectures and enable the development of MOPS. WG dormant since 2012 and re-activated April 2015. The group currently works on the following items: – To review existing ED-179B and evaluate the changes that could benefit to rotorcraft operations; – To develop MASPS for CGVS; – To develop MASPS for an Enhanced Flight Vision System for takeoff credit. This work will be performed following SC-213 WG2; and – To develop MASPS for SVS for aircraft state awareness. WG-79 works in coordination with RTCA SC-213 Enhanced Flight Vision Systems/Synthetic Vision Systems (EVS/SVS). In addition, WG-79 works closely with EASA to understand in what conditions and direction the European specification could evolve, and to support EASA in this process.
