A implementação dos óculos de visão noturna (ovn) na aviação civil e militar: o uso pelos pilotos de helicópteros

Abstract

The present research aims to demonstrate the relevance of Night Vision Goggles (NVG), exemplifying that they can be used in civil and military aviation in view of its good functioning. During the study, it was observed that the use of (NVG) can increase operational safety in night flights when operating helicopters, considering that the night flight of helicopters presents risks for flying at low altitude. Subsequently, it will be shown that the use of NVG becomes feasible due to the easy visualization of objects, the horizon line and the visualization of Meteorological Flight Conditions by Instruments (MFCI). At another time, the laws and regulations governing the use of NVG in other countries, such as the United Kingdom, Australia, some European Union countries and the United States of America, which already use the NVG in civil aviation, will be explained and analyzed. , and which may serve as a basis for the creation of a new specific law for the use of the NVIS Night Vision System (Night Vision Image System) in Brazil. Based on bibliographic research and based on articles, doctrines and institutional data, it was concluded that the use of technology is essential for increasing security in civil and military aviation nohadays, if its limitations are known. Other factors must also be evaluated for good use, such as the spaces that refer to the sizes of the glasses, in addition to their installation on the aircraft or on the pilots' helmet. In this way, it is advised that the crew undergo adequate training for the approval of the use of the glasses in addition to the inspection of the aircraft regarding the lights that must be reconciled with the mentioned equipment. Finally, it is understood that through the standardization and implementation of this technology, it will be possible to enjoy an innovative and safe system in civil aviation, which contributes to the evolution of the Brazilian aviation system.
