Now someone tells me to do PIFR before NVFR as it saves money and there is overlap. All confused now.
No probs.
Depends what your goals are. Due to the need to use instruments at times for flight at night (eg. those dreaded black holes) the main differences between NVFR and a PIFR are the lack of instrument approach training and the IREX.. so, yes, if you're wanting to do a PIFR, don't bother with NVFR - but if you've got an NVFR rating it's good to know you're more than half way to a PIFR already. Once you get an Instrument Rating (PIFR or otherwise) you no longer need to fly VFR at night.
