FAA Part 141 Approval For Initial, Recurrent, And Instructor
NVG Courses
Night Flight Concepts
(NFC), says it has received FAA FAR Part 141 approval for
NVG Initial, Recurrent, and Instructor Pilot courses.
The approved NVG courses offered by Night Flight Concepts are
part of a strategic alignment effort between NFC and Palm Beach
Helicopters. Since 2006, Night Flight Concepts and Palm Beach
Helicopters have combined their capabilities and experience to
offer night vision flight instruction. More than a year ago, this
alignment effort brought to industry the first NVG Robinson R-44.
This aircraft was equipped for NVG operations through the FAA STC
process by REB Technologies of Bedford, Texas. NVG training may be
conducted in both the Bell 206 and Robinson R44 at the Palm Beach,
Florida location. Night Flight Concepts together with Palm Beach
Helicopters can offer highly experienced NVG instructors, well
equipped and maintained aircraft with training options from Private
Pilot up to Airline Transport Pilot (ATP).
"We are proud to be one of very few FAR Part 141 NVG provider
approved by the FAA. Our company utilizes the FAA TSO approved
Night Vision Goggles (NVG) and is the only civilian NVG training
provider using the Night Readiness, LLC Virtual Terrain Board
(VTB)", said Randy Rowles, VP Business Development for Night Flight
Concepts. "We feel our alignment with Palm Beach Helicopters
provides a robust and comprehensive training solution to the
industry."
