This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) reviews the basics of NVIS compatibility and discusses the specific illuminated pushbutton switch and indicator requirements for sunlight readability, color, luminance, and NVIS radiance when used in NVIS compatible cockpits. The recommendations and special considerations set forth in this document are made to give the design engineer a better understanding of MIL-L-85762A NVIS compatibility requirements and to provide information on the visual characteristics of NVIS compatible pushbutton switch and indicator displays. Warning, caution and advisory push-button switches and indicators are considered by pilots to be one of the most important items in the aircraft crew station. Due to the different colors, these push-button switches and indicators are particularly difficult in an NVG green-lighted compatible crew station. This specific technology, which is utilized to deal with the design of these devices is covered in this document.
