Does anyone know why this isn't used more often in the UK? It would be damned handy for anyone that can fly at night as the no. if airfields available rapidly dissappears at sunset.
Don't know, and yes it would. My home airfield in France has it - you need to click 7 times (or more often, 14 times 'cos it doesn't always work the first time....).
Unfortunately I'm not qualified to use it at night....
Which brings me to a question. Can I be taught night flying by a French JAA instructor, given that I have a UK CAA PPL - but live in France? I don't want the hassle of converting my CAA licence, and can't spare the time to come back to the UK to train there.
Thanks, AF.
