Klatt Works Adds Gulfstream as Approved SAVED Supplier

Gulfstream Aerospace is the first aircraft manufacturer to become an approved supplier for the Klatt Works Smoke Assured Vision Enhanced Display (SAVED) system. SAVED is a see-through head-up display (HUD) built into the oxygen mask to help pilots view flight data and enhanced vision system video during a smoke-filled cockpit emergency.

As an approved supplier, Gulfstream can offer installation of the SAVED system at its service centers. Other approved providers include Duncan Aviation and Altus Aerospace.

The G550 is the first Gulfstream jet approved under the SAVED supplemental type certificate (STC). Klatt Works is working on STCs for the G450 and G650, followed by the G500 and G600. Klatt also plans to seek approvals from other countries’ regulators.

Flight simulation training providers are installing the system to help pilots learn how SAVED works, according to Klatt Works.

“Having an aircraft manufacturer offer SAVED is a milestone for us and for the operators we serve,” said Klatt Works CEO Nate Klatt. “Gulfstream’s service centers reach operators worldwide, and making SAVED available through those channels streamlines acquisition and installation for Gulfstream customers who want this capability on their aircraft. We are pleased to welcome Gulfstream to the SAVED authorized provider network.”
