Getting goggles on students in advanced is a good idea if you ask me. My former phrog pilot IP in HT-18 said it best, "If you are flying at night single engine without goggles in the fleet, you are already in a compound emergency." That is the case for TH-57's on night flights. Sure they are uncomfortable at first, but I would hate to be without them now. Save the goggle flights for the end of the pipeline, but it will be good to get them started.
