Night Vision Courses To Be Taught At Arizona Campus
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has selected Night Flight
Concepts NVIO NVG CBT program to be used within the Bachelor of
Aeronautical Science Specialty degree program. Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University’s Prescott, Arizona campus will be
integrating the NVIO NVG CBT program into one of their Advanced
Helicopter Specialty Courses: “Environmental Helicopter
Operations.”
In this course students obtain the foundation for helicopter
operations in varying environmental conditions. The students
are introduced to aspects particular to helicopter flight as it
pertains to adverse weather including day, night, and Night Vision
Goggle (NVG) operations. The ground instruction on NVG
operations using NVIO is in accordance with the ground training
requirements outlined in FAR Part 61.31(k).
The implementation of the CBT at Embry-Riddle is unique. The
content including 3D graphics is integrated real-time into a
classroom environment. Instructors have the ability to take
advantage of the FAA vetted courseware and state of the art
graphics while at the same time maintaining the integrity of the
traditional classroom.
“With all of the technology available to Embry-Riddle, Night
Flight Concepts is particularly pleased to have them recognize and
select our NVIO NVG CBT” stated Adam Aldous, President of
Night Flight Concepts.
“Embry-Riddle is an institution that promotes safety
first," said Assistant Professor Bryan Cox. "NVGs are playing an
ever increasing role in night helicopter operations. We are pleased
to have NVIO NVG in our technology tool-kit. It provides not only a
cool way to teach the class but automatically maintains a
standardized approach to that training.”
