Night Flight Concepts completes Canadian federal government flight training
Night Flight Concepts (NFC) has recently completed night vision training for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Canadian Department of National Defense, 12th Wing.
Training for the RCMP took place at two operational locations in Canada and training for 12th Wing took place at the Palm Beach Helicopters training facility in Lantana, Florida.
The comprehensive training consisted of helicopter night flight operations utilizing night vision devices both in the R44 and AS350B3. As part of the ongoing training, the two organizations are adding night vision capabilities to improve operational safety and efficiency to their respective nation-wide flight departments. Both organizations are also preparing for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games that will be hosted next year by Canada in Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia.
Night Flight Concepts provided a custom tailored ground and flight training curriculum based on the mission specific requirements of each customer in their operational aircraft. Normal operations and emergency procedures training while operating with night vision enhancement devices provided a complete initial transition of each pilot.
The company is expanding their capability with the addition of these two sophisticated and demanding international law enforcement and defense organizations. Air medical, law enforcement, offshore, military and defense related customers continue to rely on Night Flight Concepts to provide premier training for night vision flight operations around the globe.
Night Flight Concepts continues to offer new night vision related products and will be introducing NVG maintenance technician training packages this year for flight departments. NFC also provides the NVAG-6 Aviator Night Vision Goggle by NIVISYS, NVG compatible aircraft lighting, and professional night vision consulting. The company is an FAA FAR Part approved 145 repair station providing night vision goggle inspection, overhaul and maintenance.
