Just one question - what horizon ? 😳
Q3. NVMC - unless the rules have changed and mention celestial lighting, what horizon?
Let's assume there is a full moon then. The horizon is what it is, on some nights crystal clear and on others clear as mud. NVFR folks is Night Visual Flight Rules, WTF does the visual bit mean if I can't look outside?
What is a visual departure at night? Surely not just by looking down?
What is a visual arrival at night? Not just runway edge lighting?
I am talking NVFR here not IFR! Every night VFR pilot I have ever trained or tested has always at least tried to establish a horizon during the flight when it is safe. Are you telling me they shouldn't? Heck, why don't we just make it IFR?
