OF LOW AMBIENT LIGHT (LANDING ZONE, ETC), WITH INTERIOR LIGHTING SET 
 
FOR NVG OPERATIONS, AND WITH ANVIS PREPARED FOR USE, POSITION A 
 
REFLECTIVE MATERIAL (MAP SHEET, NOTE CARD, VINYL CHECKLIST) AT 
 
READING DISTANCE FROM YOUR EYES (APPROXIMATELY 12 TO 18 INCHES).
 
              (2)  SHINE THE SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHT ONTO THE 
 
MATERIAL.  WITH THE UNAIDED EYE, LOOK AT THE RESULTANT REFLECTION 
 
CAST ON THE WINDSCREEN.
 
              (3)  OBSERVE THIS SAME REFLECTION THROUGH THE 
 
ANVIS.  AN ACCEPTABLE SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHT SOURCE WILL ALLOW ANVIS 
 
AIDED VISION THROUGH THE REFLECTION.  THE REFLECTION CAN EVEN 
 
DISAPPEAR.
 
              (4)  IF THE REFLECTION BLOCKS ANVIS AIDED VISION, 
 
THIS LIGHT SOURCE SHOULD BE DEEMED UNACCEPTABLE.

FILTER MAY BE USED ON FLASHLIGHTS DURING NVG FLIGHT UNTIL AN ARMY
