| | GOOD NEWS FOR BAD WEATHERFalconEye certified for 100’ minimum decision heightGood news, 8X operators! The FalconEye Combined Vision System has achieved full certification and operational credit for a 100-foot minimum decision height. This will allow pilots to make precision approaches to airfields lacking ground-based navigational aids, greatly increasing airfield access to more airports in adverse weather conditions. All of which means that Falcons equipped with FalconEye will provide even greater flexibility and safety. | |
