EFVS survey for aircraft operators

Update 20221001

Aim

As of Oct. 2022, new AWO regulation will extend privileges of EFVS operations with OPS credit. Aircraft operators need to get specific aerodrome related information, which is not always easily available in order to apply and perform EFVS operations

This questionnaire intends to gather insight on the operational need for EFVS (when and where) in order facilitate the ease and further implementation of EFVS for business aircraft operators.

  Description

• EVS is only for situational awareness operation
• EFVS is only for operation with operational credit using EVS system:
  • EFVS 200 (new)
  • EFVS-A (ex EVS 100ft)
  • EFVS-L (new. Equivalent to FAA EFVS to touchdown and Rollout)

RVR Reduction: 33% for OPS credit or other value approved during airworthiness.

Questionnaire

The questionnaire contains some questions with more than one applicable statement or with subquestions. It would normally take less than 5-10 minutes to complete it. Your help is greatly appreciated; if so desired anonymously.
