And, since we’re discussing the characteristics of the great FAA NVG regulations, let’s split some hairs, because, you know the FAA will...
Did you know, the FAA created a situation where a pilot could meet the experience requirements for NVG flight with passengers, but not unaided night flight? This situation could exist because night currency is based upon 90-days, while NVG currency is based upon calendar months (all in the same section even, 61.57(b)(1) vs. 61.57(f)(1)).
Sounds perfectly reasonable, doesn’t it?
