Long nights with the NVG mounted really do take its toll in this otherwise great aircraft
yepp, we have the first H145 fitted.
Its slightly better, but some complain about their feet feeling numb, cause of the different vibrations between body and feet touching the floor.
Our Union made Tests together with an university and had some remarkable findings about work safety and times, which shouldn’t be exceeded while flying NVG in an H145
With Sarib longer times are actually possible- but only on the vibration side.
Bending muscles out of the normal operating range while looking down hasn’t been taken in account yet
