This research aimed to understand the theory of operation, limitations and legislation regarding the use of Night Vision Goggles (NVG) in civil aviation using an exploratory research with bibliographic and documentary procedure through the consultation of national and international books and documents restricted to the qualitative field method. The study points out that the use of NVGs might increase flight safety in night operations despite their limitations. Operators who intend to use of this technology should be aware of the need for crew training as well as the aircraft's adaptation to NVG compatible lighting. Countries in the European Union, USA, Australia and the United Kingdom already use NVGs in civil aviation and also have presented specific standards for their use. Brazil still has no regulation of the use of this technology, although it has begun efforts to elaborate norms on the subject within the scope of the Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) demonstrated by a Public Hearing held in the year 2015. One of the conclusions pointed out that the use of NVGs by civil aviation might be beneficial as long as its limitations are known, crews are properly trained, and there is a appropriate qualification process for the use of this state-regulated night vision system.
