Night-Vision Goggles Visual Spectrum Requirement

In plain language

If you use night-vision goggles (NVGs) during flight, they must be capable of detecting all light in the visual spectrum, or you must have another way to detect visual spectrum light (such as a visual observer not using NVGs) to ensure you do not miss other aircraft lights.

Requirement as structured

No pilot shall operate a remotely piloted aircraft system using night-vision goggles unless the goggles are capable of, or the person has another means of, detecting all light within the visual spectrum.
