FLIR Help
Dear Editor,
During travel, dust blows back on the ChaparRal's Forward
Looking Infrared ±adars (FLI±), penetrating through small holes
in the FLI± cover and caking the lenses. The crew has to clean
the lenseS or they get bad FLI± readings²

out² When you're ready to operate, just pu´l the bag off.
