PREVIOUS RESULTS ***

Last week, we asked AVweb readers what they make of the new wave of synthetic vision technologies.

Fully half of those who responded to our survey called SVT a nice-to-have addition to the panel and said they plan (or hope) to integrate it into their cockpit eventually. Another 27% of you said you’d buy it in a minute. And only 5% of those who answered our poll called SVT just a gimmick.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION ***

If you’re able to read AVweb, we can safely assume you’ve heard about Earth Day and all the new ways to conserve, recycle, and take a little better care of our environment that came out of this year’s celebration – and if you’ve heard about it, there’s even a chance you actually did something about it. This week we’d like to know if (aviation-wise) you did anything to mark Earth Day.
