Night Vision Goggles (NVG) are essential to enhance safety and efficiency during night operations. These head-mounted devices utilise advanced image intensifying technology to amplify ambient light, allowing better vision in low-light conditions, which increases the safety for crews.
LifeFlight’s NVIS course is designed to improve crew situational awareness and safety under Night Visual Flight Rules (NVFR). It addresses the aviation technical skills requirements related to equipment and system operations and contributes to safe and effective performance in complex aviation operational environments.
The course combines theoretical knowledge with invaluable hands-on practical training using head mounted night vision goggles (NVG).
Successful completion of this course will result in the issue of a Statement of Attainment in AVIW0026 Conduct night vision imaging operations.
This course covers:
The NVIS course includes both a practical and a theoretical assessment.
The practical component is assessed through observation of your performance whilst utilising head-mounted NVGs in simulated scenarios including pre-operational inspections, operational use, abnormal situations such as goggle failure, and post-use servicing.
The theoretical component is assessed via a written exam at the end of the course.
Once you’ve been deemed competent in your overall performance, you’ll receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment in AVIW0026 Conduct night vision imaging system operations.

Knowledge of theoretical components of training will be assessed through the use of written questionnaires. Practical competency will be conducted through observing skills. Both assessments will be conducted at the end of each component of training. Notification of results will be given at the completion of the days training.
All assessment and practical resources are provided by the LifeFlight Training Academy.
You will be notified upon course confirmation if you’re required to bring any wet gear for pool training.
A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is required by all Australians undertaking nationally recognised training. It allows students to link to a secure online record of all qualifications gained regardless of the provider. This system was implemented by the Australian Government in 2015, so it will show student achievements from 1 January 2015 onwards. As an RTO, The LifeFlight Training Academy cannot issue Statements of Attainment without a USI. Therefore, it is mandatory that all students supply their USI upon enrolment.
If a student does not have a USI, they can visit https://www.usi.gov.au/students/get-a-usi for more information, and instructions on how to apply.
