Hi,
I've had a PPL night rating since 2003 now but don't use it much. Is there a validity period on the night rating similar to the 12 month validity of an IMC or is it valid for life without need for renewal?

for life, but you have to do the 3 takeoffs / landings watsits in 90 days before taking pax with you....

do those 3 t/o and landings have to be at night and/or with an instructor?

At night, instructor not required but sensible if you haven't done it in a while!
To clarify;
To carry passengers you need to have completed 3 take-off and landings in the last 90 days.
To carry passengers at night 1 of those take-offs and landings needs to have been done at night. If one holds a valid IR then this is not required.
An instructor is not required but it would be a very good idea.

Excellent thanks for the feedback
Again, funny to compare the FAA PPL which requires three takeoffs and landings at night, before one can carry passengers at night.
