            1.        identifies task requirements and any hazards or risks;
            2.        plans navigation and operational requirements;
            3.         manual, including:
                   1.          NVFR or IFR operations;
                   2.         operational requirements and procedures;
                   3.       risk and hazard mitigation;
                   4.       contingency procedures;
            4.        determine serviceability of NVG equipment and aircraft:
                   1.          determines helicopter certification MEL requirements for conducting an NVIS operation;
                   2.         inspects and ensures serviceability of NVG equipment;
                   3.       inspects and ensures serviceability and suitability of aircraft and aircraft lighting system for NVG operations;
            5.        brief and de-brief NVG operations:
                   1.          pre-flight brief;
            6.          briefs all stakeholders, including:
                   1.          a plan for recovery from inadvertent IMC entry and loss of visual cues, when appropriate;
                   2.         the transit flight, let-down and approach procedures;
