Normally I'd let it pass but on this occasion......... forget NVG until you know what you are talking about. I think I'll start a thread asking if anyone knows where I can get a cheap A.I. so I can have a crack at instrument flying.
NVG still work when landing lights are on. Except for NVGs from Russia. They bloom out quickly as they do under other lighting.
Extra information is dangerous if you only get 60% of it and you think you have 100%.
police and others don't just despair at the mistrust, we hate it, but we wouldn't want people out there with crap gear, crashing in NVGs name and stopping the program completely.
£5000 should get you a second hand gen 3 NVG, or 20 pairs of Russian ones.
