With the updated Civil Aviation Rules in effect as of 5 April 2025, a new provision under CAR 61 Subpart I enables the issue of a Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) rating.
While the rule framework is now in place, detailed guidance material and training requirements are still under development, with a Notice expected to be published in April 2026.
Until that Notice is in force, guidance as per Advisory Circular AC91-13 continues to apply, and the NVIS rating will remain a logbook endorsement, as was the practice under the previous regime.
Operators and training organisations are encouraged to continue following the AC91-13 guidance and contact CAA for any specific queries relating to NVIS operations or pilot qualification.
