The
one week
T&E4208
is
designed to provide technical and human factors information
regarding NVGs, NVIS (NVG
compatible) interior and exterior lighting, and the integration of
all three in the aircraft.
Emphasis is placed on system evaluation techniques, which
are based on years of practical experience in a number of
different aircraft. Topical
information in the academic lectures is reinforced during NVIS lab
and aircraft demonstrations, and one optional NVG demonstration
flight (T&E4208a).
The
one week T&E4218
incorporates
intensive practical demonstrations and hands-on evaluation
experience. Ground evaluations will include; NVG system
evaluation, NVIS lighting evaluation, and the integration of both
in the aircraft. Following the ground evaluations will be a flight
evaluation of the NVIS system. Students will compile the data and
present an oral report of the findings and provide recommendations.
T&E 4208 is a prerequisite for T&E 4218.

Personnel
involved in the acquisition and testing of NVGs and/or NVIS
modified lighting systems will find these courses very beneficial.
These courses will also be useful to those operational
agencies presently operating with NVGs, if they wish to gain a
better understanding of the issues associated with NVG flight and
NVIS lighting.
