Course Description
To perform an evaluation of a night vision imaging
system (NVIS) requires knowledge of night vision goggles (NVGs),
NVG-compatible interior and exterior lighting, and the integration
of these components in the aircraft. To place the night vision
imaging system in context and to reinforce material presented in
the NVIS Evaluation Techniques course, the student will wear and
use NVGs while flying in an aircraft modified with NVIS
lighting.
