Thank you AC, that’s the type of answer I was guessing at. It seems this year there have been so many questions asked about night flights(tours, sightseeing, coporate and charter) accidents where pilot ratings and aircraft specifications appear to be the cause of the accident.
i don’t profess to an expert under any circumstances but we all seem to be reading the same types of questions regarding night flight accidents.
