MUST BE ATTENUATED IAW APPLICABLE PUBLICATIONS TO ELIMINATE EFFECTS OF RED OR WHITE LIGHTING PRIOR TO CONDUCTING NVG OPERATIONS. DIRECT QUESTIONS TO MR. GLEN NOWAK PARA 16A. 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) SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZES THE USE OF LIGHTING FROM NONSTANDARD EQUIPMENT DURING NVG OPERATIONS. 8I(2) SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHTING - 8I(2)(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. 8I(2)(B) NEW ITEMS - PM SOLDIER HAS DEVELOPED, TESTED AND APPROVED THE FOLLOWING NEW ITEMS: COMPONENT NSN FINGER LIGHT 6230-01-357-2175 MICLIGHT 6240-01-362-4902 FLASHLIGHT FILTER, (1.715 INCH) 6230-01-369-1658 FLASHLIGHT FILTER, (1 INCH) 6230-01-369-1659 FLASHLIGHT FILTER, (0.895 INCH) 6230-01-369-1657 AA FLASHLIGHT 6230-01-259-4495 ANVIS COMPATIBLE FLASHLIGHT FILTER (W/ BOOT) 6230-01-393-2365 8I(2)(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 CREW MEMBERS 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 LIGHTING. (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 (PC). 8I(2) SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHTING DEGRADATION EVALUATION - A METHOD FOR EVALUATING THE EFFECTS OF SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHTING WITH ANVIS IS AS FOLLOWS: 8I(2)(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). 8I(2)(2) SHINE THE SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHT ONTO THE MATERIAL. WITH THE UNAIDED EYE, LOOK AT THE RESULTANT REFLECTION CAST ON THE WINDSCREEN. 8I(2)(3) OBSERVE THIS SAME REFLECTION THROUGH THE ANVIS. AN ACCEPTABLE SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHT SOURCE WILL ALLOW NVG AIDED VISION THROUGH THE REFLECTION. THE REFLECTION CAN EVEN DISAPPEAR. 8I(2)(4) IF THE REFLECTION BLOCKS ANVIS AIDED VISION, THIS LIGHT SOURCE SHOULD BE DEEMED UNACCEPTABLE. 8J. LASER POINTERS - 8J(1) A STUDY HAS BEEN PERFORMED REGARDING THE USE OF LASER POINTERS IN THE COCKPIT OF ARMY AIRCRAFT. RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE USE OF VISIBLE LASER POINTERS, OR NEAR-INFRARED (NEAR- IR) LASER POINTERS GREATER THAN CLASS I, SEVERELY DEGRADES THE PERFORMANCE OF NVGS AND CREATES AN EYE HAZARD WHEN USED IN THE COCKPIT OF ARMY HELICOPTERS. 8J(2) THE AN/PAQ-4C INFRARED AIMING LIGHT (NSN 5855-01- 398-4315, LIN NUMBER 34938, $225.00 EA) IS A CLASS I, NEAR-IR (830-860 NANOMETERS) LASER, WHICH PROVIDES REASONABLE RANGE PERFORMANCE WITH LITTLE TO NO DEGRADATION OF THE ANVIS PERFORMANCE WHEN DIRECTED THROUGH THE WINDSCREEN OF HELICOPTER COCKPITS. THIS LASER IS DEEMED ACCEPTABLE FOR USE. ANY CLASS I NEAR-IR LASER ARE ACCEPTABLE FOR USE IN THE COCKPITS OR CARGO COMPARTMENTS OF ARMY HELICOPTERS. 8J(3) LASER POINTERS OTHER THAN CLASS I NEAR-IR LASERS MAY ONLY BE USED IN THE CARGO COMPARTMENT OF UH-1, UH-60 OR CH-47 AIRCRAFT, AT THE DISCRETION OF THE PC. THE PC 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 PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE EYE. 8J(4) 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 584-3932 OR (410) 671-3932. EMAIL IS MCHBDSL@AEHA1.APGEA.ARMY.MIL.
