Helmetfire - thanks for the info, you seem to have the situation very well sorted in Oz - I seem to remember from other threads on this subject that you were heavily involved persuading CASA to accept NVG ops for non mil organistaions

It seems that what you are describing isn't quite what people would regard as single pilot NVG though - yes you only have one pilot but you have a second crewmember on NVG as well. Out of interest does this crewman operate from the cabin on NVG or is he in the left hand seat for recces and landings? Are the crewmen classed as aircrew or are they paramedics with extra training so they can perfrom two roles?
