STANAG 3345 – Aircraft Cockpit Lighting and Display Visibility
STANAG 3345 is a NATO standard that specifies the requirements for cockpit lighting and display visibility in military aircraft. It ensures that instrumentation and controls are easily readable under various lighting conditions, thereby enhancing pilot performance and flight safety.
Why is STANAG 3345 Important?
- Enhances Readability: Ensures that cockpit instruments and displays are clearly visible in both daylight and nighttime operations.
- Preserves Night Vision: Specifies lighting parameters that minimize glare and preserve the pilot’s night vision, crucial for nighttime missions.
- Standardizes Cockpit Design: Promotes uniformity in cockpit lighting across NATO aircraft, facilitating pilot interoperability and training efficiency.

Advancements in Cockpit Lighting
The evolution of cockpit lighting has transitioned from incandescent bulbs to modern LED systems, offering improved efficiency, durability, and customizability. Modern cockpits, such as those in the Airbus A220, feature ergonomic designs with adjustable lighting to ensure optimal visibility without causing glare, allowing pilots to maintain situational awareness during night operations.
Tactical Cockpit Lighting Integration
Integrating tactical lighting solutions in military cockpits involves:
- NVIS Compatibility: Implementing Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) compatible lighting to support operations requiring night vision goggles.
- Customizable Illumination: Utilizing adjustable lighting systems that allow pilots to modify brightness and color to suit mission requirements.
- Durability: Ensuring that lighting components can withstand the rigors of military operations, including exposure to vibrations, temperature extremes, and other environmental factors.
