Does anyone have experience with the FLIR system? The web site has a pretty neat little video presentation of what it will do. It looks like it can interface with the OP Technologies EFIS units, or just a panel mounted LCD. I wonder how fluid the movement on the display would be? Since it is basically a camera, I would think it would be pretty smooth. If this is the case, am I wrong in thinking that this could be used as a back up to an EFIS in case of failure? I know the LCD and the FLIR camera would have to be backed up with a battery. On the video download from the website, terrain, runways, paint, buildings, trees, etc. or very easily discernible on the LCD. When flying, the video presentation of the FLIR looks an awful lot like what Chelton & OP Technologies are trying to do on the EFIS. You can definitely distinguish the horizon on the FLIR output as well as everything else. So, backup to the EFIS or NO!
