EVAS-cockpit systems not ordered for canadian military

[SN30952]

The Canadian Prime Minister's fleet of Challenger executive jets are the only Canadian Forces aircraft scheduled to receive a US$143,000 safety upgrade designed to prevent Swissair-type aviation disasters.
The government announced last week it will equip the six VIP jets with equipment that helps pilots see in the event their cockpit suddenly fills with smoke. The Emergency Vision Assurance Systems (EVAS) provide pilots with inflatable plastic shields that keep smoke out of their line of vision to the flight controls.

EVAS consists of a 3 x 8 x 10-inch box, about the size of a flight manual, stowed next to the seat. In a smoke emergency, the top cover of the box is pulled off, the folded plastic bag is pulled out and slapped onto a Velcro scrip on the glareshield. Filtered air is pumped continuously into the bag, which is form-fitted for each aircraft model. Deployment takes 15-20 seconds.

This system is not new. Look at a review Demonstration Showed Effectiveness of EVAS (1998)

Do we not say: Eerst oompje en dan oompjes kinderen. (How is that in Canadian?)
