I'm not a "135 driver" but I still feel confident enough to answer that

Bottom and simple line is: you shouldn't do that. Indeed:
- You see outside by looking through NVGs.
- But you see inside by looking below NVG tubes.

Why? Well, to see outside (which is the point), NVGs have to be focused to infinity. Hence, if you look inside the cockpit through them, it'll be (very) blurry.

Last but not least, displays such as CAD & co are meant to be "black" when seen through NVGs (if set to NVG-compatible mode), to avoid glare.

[edit] oops, didn't see that that chinese fella had already answered... sorry, I must have read part of the topic with NVGs on... (lame excuse, I know)
