NVG Training | PREPARATION FOR TOMORROW
As the FAA’s forerunner in the Night Vision flight training industry, ASU is firmly established with flight operations worldwide. Whether you require basic NVG training or advanced training for special operations, our instructor pilots are well qualified to assist you with customized training. All ASU NIght Vision Training flight instructors have extensive civil and military NVG flight experience, a rarity in the training industry. They’ve flown NVGs in nearly every environment on earth, from the arctic to the equator, mountainous to open ocean, desert to jungle, rural farmland to most major U.S. cities (and many international cities), and nearly everything in between. Whatever the future holds, we’ll be ready to help you prepare for it.
