Thankyou to Rwy in Sight + LookingForAJob + pottwiddler.
Some of the airports I am looking at are Kota Bharu + Penang + Langkawi all in Malaysia + Banda Aceh in Indonesia..
I think these 4 airports have no incoming or outgoing flights in the period approx midnight to 06:00 (local time).
So I am assuming that possibly soon after the last incoming or outgoing flight, the runway lights might be turned off and the tower unmanned.
If it's dark night with no moonlight and the runway lights are off would it be possible to land safely?
Would there be enough illumination of the runway, from only the obstacle lights, and the aircraft's own landing lights?
