On the same note, ask ATC to turn the runway edge lights down to their minimum brightness, and turn off all other runway lights (approach lights, PAPIs, etc) when teaching night landings to a new student.
Not always possible - some airports say they become unlicensed if they turn off approach lighting.
I'm not 100% sure on this, but I don't believe you need a licensed airport for the night qualification, since it is not a rating or a license. Can anyone confirm this? (And in any case, the original poster said he is not in the UK, so it's not relevant to him.)
