About 10 years ago at the Gold Coast, I was made to hold over water for a decent amount of time for multiple Airbuses, in a piston single with no night rating and last light upon me. When I advised I had no night rating I was advised I needed to declare a PAN PAN if I needed to land and they would divert the jet traffic. As my pax was current on NVFR is was a no-brainer to hold.
