Night VFR


VIDEO

This is a film clip of an F-16 pilot's view while making a night approach at Aspen, Colorado. The right half of the view is the pilot's normal visual path to the runway during darkness---in other words totally black. The left side of the screen is the Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) which paints the heat signature of the outside terrain so pilots can see at night as though it were daytime. FLIR Technology is a great addition to the cockpit of commercial as well as military aircraft. It enables a pilot to successfully land an aircraft at night under VFR.
