I had exactly the same remark when I was training in Florida. It was getting fairly dark and I am banging out dual circuits with my instructor. i told him I think we should stop as it is getting dark...his question was "Can't planes fly at night"
I told him JAA folk had to have a separate qualification..he burst out laughing and said I better land then. 4 days later we done my 5 hours night training.
