Surely the issue is about being made aware of the problems associated with night flight.
Most airfields I fly from shut at sunset, but on occasion return to the home-base would have been made easier with a 30 minute or 1 hour extra availability
I've had only a short experience but I found that just because God puts the lights out, does not mean I have to panic.
All flight is a risk and there will always be tragic incidents - I've lost my share of good friends in aviation accidents, but more through car crashes.
