Night Vision Goggles (NVGs) were determined and classified as appliances in 1990 by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). NVGs are used in navigation, operation and have been a critical tool when it comes to the control and operation of an aircraft during night flight.
As appliances, the NVGs must be able to meet a certain criteria and performance standards plus a required FAA Certification.
