It displays enhanced infrared imagery for the pilot on the G3X screen at the same scale, with the same field of view, and with the same horizon as Garmin\u2019s built-in synthetic vision system. With the simple turn of a knob, both the synthetic and the enhanced vision systems are displayed side-by-side, giving the pilot a previously unheard-of level of situational awareness in low light or low visibility situations. The camera easily penetrates smoke, haze, shadow, or even full darkness to show terrain, roads, buildings, bridges, antennas, runways, and similar objects.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cubcrafters.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CC-IR-Camera-shadow-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cubcrafters.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CC-IR-Camera-shadow-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cubcrafters.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CC-IR-Camera-shadow-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cubcrafters.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CC-IR-Camera-shadow-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cubcrafters.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CC-IR-Camera-shadow-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cubcrafters.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CC-IR-Camera-shadow-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The wing-mounted camera itself is designed to be as small, lightweight, automated, and maintenance free as possible. \u201cWe\u2019re really proud of what we\u2019ve developed,\u201d explains Brian Prange, the Project Manager for Hood Tech Aero. \u201cWe have an amazing amount of technology designed into a very small package. We\u2019re only adding a few ounces to the aircraft and only using a very small amount of power, yet it\u2019s a huge new capability that is always there and ready to go whenever the pilot needs it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe camera system was originally developed as part of a government contract for USDA predator control aircraft, but should have wide appeal to consumers,\u201d says Brad Damm, CubCrafters\u2019 Vice President. \u201cNearly every backcountry pilot has experienced the scenario of a late afternoon flight with the sun low on the horizon, haze in the air, and a remote mountain airstrip nearly impossible to see down in a valley and deep in shadow. With this system you just quickly flip over to the IR camera, and you can see everything that\u2019s going on.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cubcrafters.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CC-IR-Camera-night-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cubcrafters.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CC-IR-Camera-night-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cubcrafters.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CC-IR-Camera-night-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cubcrafters.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CC-IR-Camera-night-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cubcrafters.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CC-IR-Camera-night-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cubcrafters.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CC-IR-Camera-night-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur company has always been an innovative leader in flight safety,\u201d continues Patrick Horgan, President of CubCrafters. \u201cFrom toe brakes to whole aircraft parachutes, we\u2019ve often adapted big aircraft technology to be smaller, lighter, and better for the backcountry.
