NVFR Landing.

VMC4ME, what are you suggesting? I am sure many of us have done a NVFR landing being caught after last light.

There is a vast difference between such a situation and deliberately flying at night without the rating.

Not that I condone the former. We can all be harmed just as easily landing NVFR without the skills and experience a rating brings.

I tend to agree with many postings here. The NVFR rating potentially is one of the most dangerous rating we can do.

I remember a fligt of 30 min duration NVFR. I was passenger. We flew into a cloud without warning and were non visual for about 30 sec. Very fightening as there was no way of telling how thick or deep the cloud was. We flew out the other side and encontered no further cloud en route.
