6.8 CPI Imaging System Camera Alignment
The CPI imaging system camera may need to be realigned if the imaging system goes out of alignment
over repeated airborne operation or it is removed from the instrument for servicing. This procedure

aligned and focused. The alignment procedure should only be performed by personnel who have read and
become familiar with this procedure.
1. An alignment pin is included with the CPI for use in centering and aligning the imaging system
(Figure 6.8.1).
