Right now there is discussion about Primary missions at night in Czech. Pretty much everyone has agreed that they will not take place unless NVGs are used.


The machines we fly use the "Moving Terrain" moving map,

- which we are looking at up-grading by adding the weather overlay system. This adds a transparent overlay of the weather radar picture which is updated via Sat-phone every 10 minutes. This will be a big help inflight. The moving map is also backed up by 2 Garmin 430s.
