but in days of yore lads would wait until dark for the trip home (no pax of course) in order to clock up the night hours for the ATPL, naturally had to be night rated, but conditions with no ground or celestial lighting it's hard core IMC.
Yup. Did that one night back in the late 80's in a C206 out of Birdsville, headed for Moomba Gas Field.
Was not entirely IMC though; Had to deal with a few en-route Cb's. Easily avoided though. Just stayed well away from the lightning and tried to keep in areas where stars were visible....
When I think back on that night now.....
