Crab,
How does a student pilot do night flying training in a Robbie in the UK....can one go cross country at night in a Robbie?
If the weather is CAVU....and I am in the circuit of my favorite airport and the control tower is operating....must I file IFR or am I given a Special VFR Clearance for that operation...ie Touch and Go's at night at a controlled airport? What about if the Control Tower closes but the Fire Brigade remain on duty...can I fly?
Can I do night training at a private site outside controlled airspace in a single engine helicopter without filing IFR? If I am outside controlled airspace, at night, do I have to file a flight plan or make radio contact with anyone at all....despite flying IFR?
All this is very foreign to me....for some reason.
