I = Illusions – Nighttime Perils of Perception
G = Gadgets – Glowing Gadgets and Gizmos
H = Human Factors – How Night Can Be Hazardous to Your Flying Health
T = Terrain Avoidance – What Does it Take to Use NVGs?

In the issue’s "Aeromedical Advisory" department, Federal Air Surgeon Dr. James Fraser explains the importance of finding the right Aviation Medical Examiner, while Checklist highlights tips for avoiding close encounters of the wildlife kind.

Also, as part of a series of articles to highlight the importance of ADS-B equipment, Clifton Stroud from the FAA’s NextGen Performance and Outreach Office discusses the benefits of ADS-B In.
