'Centy' I still fly into the Pacific Islands & the biggest concern at night is whether the Rwy lights will be on at all! Sometimes an Alt is just the same, it's a huge risk to turn up at places like Tonga or Niue in the middle of the night in poor WX.
The wind vector on the ND is the biggest help of all, am always trying to get the F/O's to watch it like a hawk & make adjustments to speed position & height as required.
While I am on a roll here I hate HF....grrrrr in today's world we still use antiquated R/T technology!
