The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has officially approved the operation of the Dassault Falcon 6X equipped with the enhanced Enhanced Vision Flight System (EVFS), based on Dassault’s FalconEye HUD technology. This cutting-edge system significantly improves pilot situational awareness during low-altitude approaches in all weather conditions—day or night—and enables obstacle detection on runways even in fog or haze.
On September 3, 2025, EASA updated the type certificate for this large business jet, permitting approaches down to 100 feet using a precision approach with a localizer and barometric vertical navigation. The amendment also allows non-precision continuous descent methods during the final approach phase.
Initially, the EVFS approval covers a single HUD configuration, with plans for a dual-HUD system in the near future. The dual setup will provide both pilots with the same synthetic vision data, combining terrain and airport infrastructure databases with infrared and low-light imaging for maximum safety.
Shortly after the approval, on September 5, 2025, Swiss private aviation group Albinati Aeronautics completed the first Falcon 6X flight to Cannes-Mandelieu Airport (LFMD) in southern France. The operator collaborated with Dassault and local authorities to ensure safe operations on the 1,680-meter runway, considering both geographic constraints and noise regulations.
For business aviation brokers and operators, precise flight planning is now more critical than ever. Tools like the Aviapages Flight Time Calculator and Charter Quote Tool can help you optimize routes, calculate approach feasibility, and book private flights efficiently. Discover how to leverage these tools for smarter, safer Falcon 6X operations.
