WEBSITE: www.asu-nvg.com
FACILITIES: 12,000-square-foot facility located
at the Boise Airport, includes hangar, training
facilities, offices and fabrication

WHAT THEY DO: ASU sells and services
night vision systems for rotary and
fixed-wing aircraft, and provides pilot
training on the equipment.

EMPLOYEES: 26
FOUNDED: 1995 by Mike Atwood
AEA MEMBER SINCE: 2013

Kim Harris,
ASU's director
of operations
(standing), instructs
a Coulson Group
pilot on how to
adjust night vision
goggles on a helmet.

ASU also recently worked on a King Air 200 for Provincial
Aerospace, a St. John's, Newfoundland, company that
handles maritime surveillance for the Canadian government.
The organization performs one quarter of its patrols at night.
King Air 200 pilots can now takeoff and land at night
in the popular turboprop. ASU recently helped remove the
nighttime landing and takeoff restrictions by proving night
vision works.
"This was the first STC of this kind with both FAA and
Transport Canada approvals," said Atwood, a pilot with more
than 10,000 flight hours. "Because NVG operations in fixedwing aircraft are relativity new, the FAA imposed a landing
and takeoff restriction while utilizing night vision goggles.
The King Air STC project, a joint certification with the FAA
and Transport Canada to test and certify the aircraft, proved

takeoffs and landings could be accomplished with the aid of
night vision goggles, and the restriction was removed."
In April, the company completed its 700th Federal Aviation
Administration-approved cockpit modification on an EC135
at Metro Aviation in Shreveport, La., for Med-Trans Air
Medical Services.
"The now more than 700 cockpits covered a wide variety
of rotary and fixed-wing aircraft," Atwood said. "The rough
figure for this accomplishment is more than 23 supplemental
type certificates, covering 60 makes and models of aircraft
with more projects in the queue."
He hopes education and training issues won't stifle the
growing industry.
