Rotor & Wing NVG Article- Army Minimums
The most recent Rotor & Wing issue has an article on NVG's and NVG training. The article mentions that in extremely low light environments, the US Army has the following lunar illumination requirements: 23% disc illumination and at least 30 degrees above the horizon.
The article mentioned this in contrast to civilian HEMS operations, which typically make no mention of the moon at all, when setting limitations for NVG use.
My program utilizes NVG's in areas that have no terrestrial illumination whatsoever, and also over water at night.
Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the Army's weather and terrestrial/celestial illumination requirements for NVG use?
Thanks.
