Well of course. But most midairs happen in or near the pattern and the
landing lights are definitely visible in that environment.
Can you run the landing lights and flir at the same time or does it
wash out the picture ?
c'ya,
Michael

Also true, but I never mentioned that you should take your screwdriver out to the tie down and remove your headlight. You also don't need the latest HID gadget to be safe. Strobes were designed for that reason. Do you know what your dinky headlight looks like when you fly over a metropolitan center at night? Like every other light.
As an example, go out to you local airport one night after dark, sit there for 3 hours and tell me how many GA flights come in - try not to fall asleep counting.
Regardless of whether you are flying VFR, IFR or in combination with FLIR, your first and last job is to see and avoid. Anything that helps you see and avoid will help you and others.

One of the features is that the camera is oblivious to direct light, even the sun. No impact. You can keep your eyes outside and just confirm through the display. Awfully good for finding that pattern traffic and even spotting those deer trying to ruin your landing.
There are several videos on you tube which provide an example. Check out the one coming into Aspen. Pretty phenomenal. Imagine taking off to the east from Aspen on a dark night (somewhat unusual) and seeing every pebble out there.

ugh, i left out my point. The landing lights help make *you* more
visable to others. Not saying flir is bad, just leave the lights on
(which you covered already).
