scope:

This specification establishes performance, general configuration, test and acceptance requirements for NVIS (see 6.5.1) compatible aircraft interior lighting. It is applicable to all systems, subsystems, component equipment and hardware which provide the lighting environment in aircraft crewstations and compartments where NVIS are employed.

The purpose of this specification is to provide performance requirements and testing methodology to ensure effective and standardized aircraft interior lighting for NVIS compatibility.

Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) compatible aircraft interior lighting shall be of the following types and classes, as specified (see 6.2.b).

Type I Lighting compatible with any Direct View Image NVIS (see 6.5.1.1) utilizing generation III Image intensifier tubes. Type II Lighting compatible with any Projected Image NVIS (see 6.5.1.2) utilizing generation III Image intensifier tubes. Class A Lighting compatible with NVIS utilizing 625 nm minus blue objective lens filters (see 6.5.1.3) with the specifications of Figure 1. Class B Lighting compatible with NVIS utilizing 665 nm minus blue objective lens filters (see 6.5.1.4) with the specifications of Figure 2.
