  2. How big a problem is smoke in the cockpit?


    As an airliner cruises it is twice as likely to land due to a smoke event as from an engine malfunction. Smoke is the leading defined cause of unscheduled landings of long-range commercial aircraft. According to a report from the Airline Pilots' Association (ALPA), during a 10-month period, there were three smoke events per day. Indeed, there was one unscheduled landing per day to prevent the potential consequences of not being able to see to land because of smoke in the cockpit and that was from only one of several databases that report such events.

  3. Is there any technology that will permit a pilot to see when smoke in the cockpit cannot be stopped and is too dense to see through?


    Yes. It is known as "cockpit smoke vision system" EVAS® (Emergency Vision Assurance System) is the only equipment in the aviation industry that allows pilots to see through smoke in the event of an emergency situation where the cockpit is filled with dense, thick smoke.

  4. If EVAS® can permit pilots to see in the presence of blinding, continuous smoke, why hasn�t the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) mandated it for the airlines?


    FAA has retrofitted its own fleet of aircraft with EVAS® to meet AC 25.9a recommended standards for smoke control.

  5. Are there any aircraft that fly with EVAS®?


    Yes. JetBlue, UPS, Federal Express, FAA, and over 2,000 cockpit smoke displacement units are in service on corporate aircraft worldwide
