Hi Folks,
Apologies for resurrecting this thread, but I just wanted to get a couple of things straight.
I'm considering doing my night rating. Am I correct in assuming the following:
Its about 5 hours training
I will be able to fly after "official sunset"
I could land at my home airfield after hours, providing its light enough to see what I'm doing (assuming no runway lights or PAPI, VASI etc.....).?
If it's got really dark I would have to fly to an airfield with 24 Hr ATC and some lights?
How much night flying would I have to do in a year to keep my rating, and if I lose it, is it a check ride with an instructor?
Anything else I should know?
Excuse the ignorance, and thanks in advance.
