UPCOMING LIVE INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITY: Synthetic Vision Will Reduce
Airline Fatalities, May 14

TOPIC: The deadliest accidents for airliners and small aircraft happen
in poor visibility -- at night, in bad weather or both. The NASA
Aviation Safety Program is working to put an end to those kinds of
accidents. NASA and aviation industry teams are developing Synthetic
Vision, a revolutionary cockpit display system that would use new and
existing technologies to give pilots a clear, electronic picture of
what¹s outside their windows no matter what the weather or time of day.

TALENT: Michael Lewis, NASA Aviation Safety Program Director

TIME: May 14, 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. EDT

To book an interview, contact Ivelisse Gilman, 757/864-5036.
