MT Relief Dynamics: 3D Moving Map im Cockpit

When flying over unknown terrain, in busy airspace or in low visibility areas you are fully supported by our optimized system. Critical situations are immediately visible on the multi-function display. The pilot can react more quickly and thus avert hazards sooner rather than later.
Pilots have a visually connected view from the cockpit – with a perfectly positioned 3D terrain relief in combination with a pilot's chart. This immediately and significantly facilitates orientation and situational awareness even in bad conditions.

Fields of Application: Reliabiliy even under most difficult conditions

1. Search and Rescue (SAR) & Emergency Medical Service (EMS)

Special Software for Search and Rescue: OPS-specific databases for hospitals, etc.

  • Night dimming for all lighting conditions.
  • With cockpit lighting synchronized dimming of screen and keys possible.
  • Suitable for NVG (night vision goggles).
  • FLIR camera connection available.
  • Camera focus control on the part of the pilot for film and TV recordings.

 

3. After "Cloudbreak"

Cloudbreak: VFR/IFR Wechel

Changing visual conditions and the associated change from IFR to VFR – this is one of our strenghts. Due to the configuration of our systems (VFR and IFR) and the intuitive handling the display quickly shows the information that is important for your individual flight situation.

5. Offshore

Offshore wind turbines are displayed in 3D with the danger zone marked for the rotor blades. According to the relative height of the helicopter (corr. danger zone) the icons are shown in intuitive colours (green, yellow, red). Your wind park is captured in our database individually – with location and dimensions of the farm, even with the size of the rotor blades.
