I love NVG. But in this case was there a well lit HLS with markers and clearway....?
i'm not sure NVG do much in the first few seconds after takeoff unless you take off from an NVG pad....
Otherwise you are gashing the "flip your goggs down" routine we all did in NI with luck...
Either use a properly lit HLS.....or go black.
Mixing it is bad news.
(yes I know that cultural lights are always a factor.....but we can minimise where we can the risk of stray light on NVS)
