Night Vision Goggles (NVG) serve as a remarkable light-intensification system, enabling vision in low-light conditions. While their capabilities may not match those of daylight vision, they prove to be an indispensable asset for conducting successful night search and rescue missions.

Given the specialised nature of NVG usage, it is crucial for crews to undergo dedicated training to ensure safe and effective operations. This training is designed to equip them with the skills and confidence needed to navigate the unique challenges of flying with NVG at night.

Particular emphasis is placed on preparing the crews for various critical tasks during night operations, such as executing precise search missions, conducting winching operations with accuracy and precision, performing confined area landings, and carrying out deck landings in challenging conditions.

By honing their expertise through this rigorous training, the crews are well-prepared to carry out their night time duties with heightened awareness, ensuring the safety and success of each mission they undertake.
