Its ironic during training you are taught to be on the constant lookout for a landing area so as to:
A. Save your life and the aircraft and
B. so you dont kill anyone on the ground.
Then you go out at night and if you have a need to auto to the ground, the dark patch your aiming for may well be an oval or maybe a school, factory or any other large building with its lights off or have power lines masts and whatever else.
I am against NVFR it goes against all human logic, although the cities do look nice from above at night. Industry pressure is always there and rules are always bent, NVFR just increases the stakes to get a job done on the cheap. Hey what the heck, theres plenty of pilots to fill the vacancy when the insurance replaces the lost aircraft.
Ban it CASA. do something right for a change.
