CubCrafters, the manufacturer of FAA-certified, ASTM-accepted, and experimental category aircraft designed to get you into every remote place, is now offering a thermal imaging system for Garmin G3X-equipped aircraft to improve pilot situational awareness in reduced visibility situations.
If the airplane is equipped with a Garmin G3X avionics package, the owner has the option to add a wing-mounted, forward-looking IR camera that displays directly on the G3X main screen in real time. According to CubCrafters, it is the same field of view, at the same image scale, and with the same horizon as Garmin’s built-in synthetic vision but with much more detail, helping the pilot navigate when flying in smoke, shadow, dusk, or night.
