Canaday explains how the underlying technology was developed and the difference it could make for airlines. By the end of the year, the FAA is expected to issue a rule that will permit passenger planes equipped with certain kinds of infrared and other cameras to operate much more freely in low-visibility conditions. The new rule could provide substantial economic incentives for commercial and other aircraft to adopt a technology that has been installed on relatively few aircraft, mostly high-end business jets and some express-cargo jets. It's been a long road getting to this point. In 2013, the FAA issued a notice of proposed rule-making saying it intended to allow more operational freedom in bad weather for aircraft--including airline passenger planes--with adequate enhanced flight vision systems.
