Hey is not fliying blind, thats called "the Box" a training every apache Pilot needs to master. You are fliying the Helo with the PNVSS system, the optical system mountent on top of the nose. Thats what makes the Apache so powerfull in night operations.
The PNVSS is an FLIR system wich is shown in your IHADS. it can move at 120 degrees/sek. After you get used to the "splitet" vision, right eye is IHADS, left eye is not. you can fly very precice and i gets "easy" and natural.
when passing the WP within 0.2 KM it changes automaticly.
When you want to change it manualy, select DIR on the left an then the WP on the right.
You have to be in the RTE Page of the TSD 🙂
