Night VFR / Flight Plan
In the Jepperson Trip-kit under 'National Particulares' it says :
NIGHT VFR :
VFR flights between sunset and sunrise or such other period between sunset and sunrise as may be prescribed by the apropriate ATS authority shall be operated in accordance with the conditions specified by such authority.'
So I guess it's a local thing. I'll try in Valencia (going next week) and report back.
FLIGHT PLAN :
Apart from the categories outlined already by another contributor, it says : 'A FPL is generally recommended if Alert and SAR is requested.' Yes please!
Thanks for all the input, and if anyone thinks of anything else before next Wednesday that would be much apreciated!
