Keeping the thread on topic though, my flight review has always been my instructor rating renewal (usually conducted by CASA) and this does not renew my night qualification. I need a separate NVFR review thanks to Part 61 and this costs me heaps. I need to travel, stay overnight and endure a junior instructor who wants to make a meal of me. They wont let me use my aeroplane either.

To those who think a night review counts covers a day review, this is actually up to the instructor. Form 61-9FR has boxes for both reviews and both must be completed for the review to count for both. Both reviews must also be entered onto the licence. Most instructors won't simulate an engine failure at night and simulated EFATO in the dark is a dubious proposition. Both should be done as part of the day flight review.

If you want both reviews in one flight from me it would be a requirement to start the review some time before last light.
