American Eurocopter’s training center at Grand Prairie, Texas, has won FAA Part 141 approval to offer training on night vision goggles (NVGs). The package provides initial and recurrent training, including lessons in unusual attitude recovery and how to deal with spatial disorientation, during both NVG and night urban flying.

The course is conducted in an NVG-modified AS 350B2 and in the EC 120 and consists of one day of ground school and six flight hours.
