Pentastar Aviation has been named an authorized installer for Securaplane Technologies’ CMX-HD camera system for the Gulfstream G450 and GV-SP. Pentastar developed the STC for the camera system, which incorporates in-flight entertainment, situational awareness, and gear position viewing.

According to Pentastar’s avionics and engineering manager Jesse Beard, the camera system gives customers “an enhanced visual experience” as visuals are available throughout the flight. Securaplane’s CMX-HD camera system, which features a heated sapphire glass window, can be installed on the vertical fin and the fuselage belly for optimal viewing.

“Pentastar’s skilled and professional avionics, engineering, maintenance, and contracts team performed flawlessly throughout their effort,” said Martin VanWinkle, STC program manager of Securaplane Technologies. “Their seamless relationship with the FAA, with their installation aircraft customer and with the cabin management system OEM was evident throughout the process.”
