Thanks tc.

And isn't ss the profficient one on the google search? Loved the link sid.

DO 275 generally concentrates on the lighting standards for the aircraft and I have a hard copy of it. The SC-196 also released a NVG standard called TSO-C64 or something similar, of which I also have a copy. This is not an FAA TSO, but a suggested NVG standard that SC-196 put forward as the min spec NVG pending ratificatoin from the FAA. It is broadly based upon the Omnibus II tubes in terms of acuity, gain, and resolution.

What I am trying to find out is what standard the UK has specified (if any) for the NVG.
Has the UK accepted the output of SC-196 and therefore the TSO, or have they specified a different criteria?

And I am still intrested in why there is no procedure for loss of visual reference on take off and landing.
