Bombardier Global aircraft receive EASA certification for lower EVS approaches

Feb. 4, 2009, Montreal- Bombardier Aerospace announced today that it has received
approval from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for Global aircraft equipped with
the Bombardier Enhanced Vision System (BEVS) to obtain operational credit for continuing
approaches to 100 feet. Bombardier's BEVS had previously received approval from Transport
Canada and the Federal Aviation Administration.

EU-OPS rule 1.430(h) requires pilots using instrument approach procedures to be able to
visually see the approach lights and runway environment from a predetermined height in order
to proceed with landing. With BEVS, that distance has been reduced to 100 feet. This is the
European equivalent of Federal Aviation Regulation 91.175.

The Bombardier Enhanced Vision System (BEVS) provides pilots with significantly improve
situational awareness and the ability to observe runway lights and the runway environment in
difficult operating conditions, such as low visibility and or darkness. BEVS also enhances safety
by helping to identify runway incursions. The heart of the BEVS is the CMC Electronics
CMA-2700, a new, third-generation member of its SureSight® family of I-Series™ integrated
sensor systems for Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) applications, integrated with
Rockwell Collins Heads-Up Guidance System (HGS®). Together, the system enables descent
down to 100 feet above ground level, thereby enhancing operational flexibility.

Global 5000: The high-speed Global 5000 jet combines superior transatlantic speed with the
largest cabin in the super large segment. It features high-speed Internet connectivity and
unmatched entertainment options as standard equipment as well as a heads-up flight displa
system, with the largest field-of-view of any business aircraft. With a recent range increase of
400 NM (741 km) the jet can now connect London-Los Angeles, and Sao-Paulo-Paris non-stop
with eight passengers and three crew.

Global Express XRS: The pioneering Global Express XRS business jet features the largest
cabin of any purpose-built corporate aircraft – offering more cabin volume and more floor space
than its closest competitor. No other business jet in the ultra long-range segment matches the
high-speed range capability delivered by this aircraft. Offering the ultimate in cabin comfort, this
impressive jet can link London-Tokyo and London-San Diego non-stop with eight passengers
and three-to-four crew.
