You can already have your flight data presented in the NVG eyepiece - it's not a new concept.

Is it ever going to be fully dark in the vicinity of a rig? You can use NVG in rain when IR sensors are next to useless and you can see lights through mist and light fog/cloud - not with IR.

VToss and the GA button are fine but why do that on instruments alone when you could use a visual/IF balance?

It is interesting to see the reluctance of the offshore crews to embrace technology that could make their lives safer.....
