B. GM-6 NVGS - GM-6 NIGHT VISION GOGGLES ARE NO LONGER
AUTHORIZED FOR AVIATION USE. GM-6 NIGHT VISION GOGGLES SHOULD BE
TURNED IN IAW SUPPLY PROCEDURES. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL CECOM
AVIONICS LAR, OR MR. STEVE BORMAN, DSN 2364064/2814, OR
COMMERCIAL 910/396-4064/2814 FOR ASSISTANCE.

EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY MUST BE REPORTED ON A PRODUCT QUALITY
DEFICIENCY REPORT (PQDR), SF 368. THE PQDR MUST BE PROCESSED
THROUGH THE LOCAL CECOM AVIONICS LAR AND TRANSMITTED TO CDR,
CECOM. THIS WILL ENSURE THE UNITSUBMITTING THE PQDR WILL RECEIVE
CREDIT FOR THAT ANVIS.
(2) MODIFICATION OF AN/AVS-6 (V2) (NSN 5855-01-
138-4748) BINOCULARS TO AN/AVS-6 (V1) (NSN 5855-01-138-4749)
VERSION BY REPLACEMENT OF THE PAS IS NOT AUTHORIZED.

(LIF), NSN 5855-01-379-1410, ON AN/AVS-6 IS MANDATORY, IAW
PROCEDURES CONTAINED IN PAR 2-12, AND FIGURE 2-24 OF TM 115855-
263-10. AN/AVS-6 WITHOUT THIS MODIFICATION WILL NOT BE USED.
UNIT MAINTAINERS SHALL DOCUMENT THE INSTALLATION OF THE NEW LIF
ON DA FORM 2408-15, HISTORICAL RECORD. POC IS GLEN NOWAK, DSN 654-
3453 OR COMMERCIAL 703/704-3453.
(4) NEW ANVIS SYSTEMS THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING
MANUFACTURED HAVE ENHANCEMENTS WHICH INCLUDE A NEW 25 MM
EYEPIECE, DUAL INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE (IPD) ADJUSTMENTS,
INCREASED FORE/AFT ADJUSTMENT, INCREASED TILT AND IMPROVED TUBE
PERFORMANCE. THESE ENHANCED SYSTEMS CAN BE MIXED IN THE SAME
COCKPIT AS OLDER VERSION ANVIS SYSTEMS OR ANVIS SYSTEMS THAT HAVE
BEEN UPGRADED WITH ANY OF THE ENHANCEMENTS.

I. LIGHTING -
(1) RED OR WHITE LIGHTING - RED OR WHITE
LIGHTING OF ANY RADIO CONTROL, SWITCH PANEL, INSTRUMENT, MASTER
CAUTION LIGHT, ETC. MUST BE TAPED, FILTERED, TURNED OFF, ETC. TO
ELIMINATE EFFECTS OF RED OR WHITE LIGHTING PRIOR TO CONDUCTING
NVG OPERATIONS.
NOTE
EFFECTS OF LIGHTING FROM NONSTANDARD EQUIPMENT MUST BE ELIMINATED
IAW THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH PRIOR TO CONDUCTING NVG
OPERATIONS, UNLESS THE APPLICABLE AIRWORTHINESS RELEASE (AWR)
CLEARLY AUTHORIZES THE USE OF LIGHTING FROM NONSTANDARD EQUIPMENT
DURING NVG OPERATIONS.
(2) SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHTING -
(A) SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHTING IS DEFINED AS
ADDITIONAL INTERIOR LIGHTING WHICH MAY CONSIST OF LIP LIGHTS (MIC
LIGHTS), FINGER LIGHTS, FLASHLIGHTS WITH FILTERS AND OTHER
SIMILAR DEVICES. LIP/MIC LIGHTS AND FINGER LIGHTS DO NOT FULFILL
THE FLASHLIGHT REQUIREMENT OF AR 95-1.
(B) NEW ITEMS - PM SOLDIER HAS DEVELOPED, TESTED
AND APPROVED THE FOLLOWING NEW ITEMS :
FINGER LIGHT, NSN 6230-01-357-2175
MICLIGHT, NSN 6240-01-362-4902
FLASHLIGHT FILTER, (1.715 INCH), NSN 6230-01-369-1658
FLASHLIGHT FILTER, (1 INCH), NSN 6230-01-369-1659
FLASHLIGHT FILTER, (0.895 INCH), NSN 6230-01-369-1657
(C) IF THE ABOVE ARE NOT AVAILABLE, THE USE
OF SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHTING WHICH PASSES THE EVALUATION OF PARAGRAPH
8I(2)(D) BELOW IS AUTHORIZED. THE SPECIFIC LIGHTING
CONFIGURATIONS AUTHORIZED BY UNIT COMMANDERS MUST BE DEFINED IN
UNIT SOPS. ADDITIONALLY, UNIT COMMANDERS MUST ENSURE CREWMEMBERS
RECEIVE INSTRUCTION IN THE USE OF AUTHORIZED SUPPLEMENTAL
LIGHTING INCLUDING FLASHLIGHT FILTERS. AS A MINIMUM, THE
FOLLOWING TRAINING MUST BE ADDRESSED AND DOCUMENTED:
(1) OPERATION AND USE OF LIGHTING
(2) CAUTIONS/WARNINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
LIGHTING
(3) DEMONSTRATE DEGRADATION OF NVG
PERFORMANCE CAUSED BY SUPPLEMENTARY LIGHTS
(4) VERIFY KNOWLEDGE OF USE.
NOTE
FLASHLIGHTS WITH RED OR WHITE LIGHT MAY NOT BE USED EXCEPT
FOR GROUND OPERATIONS OR IN THE CARGO COMPARTMENT OF UH-1, UH-60
OR CH-47 AIRCRAFT, AT THE DISCRETION OF THE PILOT IN COMMAND.
(D) SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHTING DEGRADATION EVALUATION -
A METHOD FOR EVALUATING THE EFFECTS OF SUPPLEMENTAL
LIGHTING WITH ANVIS IS AS FOLLOWS:
(1) AT NIGHT, IN AN AIRCRAFT LOCATED IN AN
AREA OF LOW AMBIENT LIGHT (LANDING ZONE, ETC), WITH INTERIOR
LIGHTING SET FOR NVG OPERATIONS, AND WITH ANVIS PREPARED FOR USE,
POSITION A REFLECTIVE MATERIAL (MAP SHEET, NOTE CARD, VINYL
CHECKLIST, ETC.) AT READING DISTANCE FROM YOUR EYES
(APPROXIMATELY 12 TO 18 INCHES).
(2) SHINE THE SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHT ONTO THE
MATERIAL. WITH THE UNAIDED EYE, LOOK AT THE RESULTANT REFLECTION
CAST ON THE WINDSCREEN.
(3) OBSERVE THIS SAME REFLECTION THROUGH THE
ANVIS. AN ACCEPTABLE SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHT SOURCE WILL ALLOW ANVIS
AIDED VISION THROUGH THE REFLECTION. THE REFLECTION CAN EVEN
DISAPPEAR.
(4) IF THE REFLECTION BLOCKS ANVIS AIDED
VISION, THIS LIGHT SOURCE SHOULD BE DEEMED UNACCEPTABLE.
F. LASER POINTERS -
(1) THE USE OF LASER POINTERS IN THE COCKPIT OF ARMY
AIRCRAFT IS PROHIBITED. LASER POINTERS MAY ONLY BE USED IN THE
CARGO COMPARTMENT OF UH-1, UH-60 OR CH-47 AIRCRAFT, AT THE
DISCRETION OF THE PILOT IN COMMAND. THE PILOT IN COMMAND SHOULD
INCLUDE THE USE OF LASER POINTERS IN THE CREW AND PASSENGER
BRIEFING.
WARNING:
USERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT ANY LASER CAN PERMANENTLY OR
TEMPORARILY DEGRADE THE PERFORMANCE OF NVGS IF USED
IMPROPERLY. ANY LASER THAT IS NOT A CLASS 1 LASER DEVICE HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO CAUSE DIRECT DAMAGE TO THE EYE. TESTING IS CURRENTLY
BEING ACCOMPLISHED TO ASSIST IN THE SELECTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF
PROPER OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR SAFELY ALLOWING THE USE OF THESE
DEVICES IN NVG AVIATION OPERATIONS.
(2) UNIT COMMANDERS WILL (IF APPLICABLE) DEVELOP SOP'S
REGARDING THE SAFE USE OF LASER POINTERS DURING NVG HELICOPTER
MISSIONS. GUIDANCE REGARDING HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH TACTICAL
LASER POINTERS IS AVAILABLE FROM THE U.S ARMY CENTER FOR HEALTH
PROMOTION AND PREVENTIVE MEDICINE, DSN 5843932 OR COMMERCIAL
410/671-3932 OR EMAIL "MCHBDSL (AT SIGN) AEHA1.APGEA.ARMY.MIL".
GENERAL GUIDANCE REGARDING THE SAFE USE OF LASERS IS AVAILABLE IN

(3) IR BANDPASS FILTERS - THE IR FILTER (PINK LIGHT),
P/N EGD-0931-1 MAY BE INSTALLED ON EITHER THE SINGLE MODE
SEARCHLIGHT OR LANDING LIGHT BASED ON OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS AS
DETERMINED BY THE USER. UNITS ARE AUTHORIZED TO USE THE BULB
WHICH BEST SUITS THEIR OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT AND MISSION AS
