A5. A very reliable aircraft, a high-resolution infrared camera with appropriate mount and the best digital recording equipment available. Having a high-resolution camera with 512×512 focal plane array detector (262,000 pixels), with a low-resolution recording medium defeats the purpose of retaining all the detail necessary to conduct a good analysis of the roof problems. A computerized moving map with Global Positioning System (GPS) input is highly desired in order to quickly and accurately locate the many building roof targets that comprise an aerial IR survey mission. This is not equipment but a highly skilled pilot is needed to fly low, slow and in the middle of the night.
