Waterford, Mich. – Pentastar Aviation, a leader in the world of business aviation, announced today that it has been named an authorized installer for the recently obtained Securaplane Technologies Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for CMX-HD camera system on Gulfstream GIV-X and GV-SP aircraft.

The CMX-HD camera system from Securaplane offers multiple functions for aircraft, including in-flight entertainment, situational awareness, and gear position viewing. Available for installation on the vertical fin and fuselage belly, the camera’s lightweight and aerodynamic design incorporates a heated sapphire glass window for exceptional imaging performance and has been tested to ensure it can withstand all of the environmental conditions airplanes face.

“The CMX-HD camera system developed by Securaplane, allows our customer’s high definition views during all phases of flight,” said Jesse Beard, Pentastar Aviation’s Avionics and Engineering Manager. “It provides an enhanced visual experience for our clients and allows us to conduct the modification in a timely manner.”

Securaplane chose Pentastar’s engineering team to develop the STC for the CMX HD camera system due to their decades of experience providing industry-leading avionics system integration design, STC development, service and maintenance.
