Not sure whether i should start another thread on this one but here goes.
About two months ago, I had a flight departing from a 'suitably lit' but unlicenced site at 01:00 in the morning. I filed my ifr flight plan three hours in advance and was night current and My IR was current.
The Departure was in class G airspace IFR but in very good VMC
I climbed to the MSA and flew back to an airport for an ILS and landed without incident.
After landing i was informed that an MOR was filed against me for flying vfr at night outside of controlled airspace.
After discussion with the IAA it was discovered that the rules regarding this were very murky and the IAA are now going to clarify this matter with legislation.. . . . . I.E. ban all night operations that depart from unlicenced sites.
The IAA are adiment that they are following the lead of the CAA and that in the UK it is illegal to depart off airport at night and fly anywhere.
I know the FAA have no problem with this and i thought the CAA didnt either. . . I thought
Any thoughts?
