YOU PUT THE LANDING LIGHT ON SO THEY ARE WARNED IN ADVANCE AND DO NOT ENTER CLOUD. ITS CALLED BEING SAFE AND TO KEEP THEM O U T OF CLOUD
How would they know cloud is about at or near an altitude? I get them to read things caled tafs and metars.
Can you also explain the lack of knowledge you have on light aircraft systems that you think you lose the instruments if the elecrics go off. You seemed to forget to mention that. So i am glad that i am not one of your students as you seem to have a lack of knowledge and an inability to think laterally
The electrics. I can see that you have to be educated a bit:
If you lose electrics at night you have 30 minutes battery power. Most engineers will tell you that 30 mins is a maximum and depends on the age/condition of the battery. As previously posted, about 10% of airfields are open at night of those open due the day.
This means that it may take you far longer than 30 minutes to get to a destination. Which in turn means that you may have lost everything electrical. And they might have to turn the aircraft or descend so they can land; or am i being sensationalist there. It's an exderience thing for them so they don't get worried if that happened. Also, I hope you know the procedure for electrical failure so they tower can see you when joining the cicuit. Would it be fair to say that if you have lost your lights you probably have lost everything.
And where did you get the idea that a student would go off an do that for a laugh by him/herself. It's a ludicrous and idiotic statement to make.
And to finish. The most hours I have trained a students on a night rating is 5 hours 10 minutes. I think the minimum is 5 hours, so 10 minutes of hour building is not something that will fill the log book.
Please go and spend an hour in a float tank to ease whatever frustration you have. Or read up on some of the above. you seem to need to.
