Well i stand corrected then
I however do not really understand what that means !!......i have no instrument rating , am in a single , and the flight is technically IFR. ?? I believe you but what is the difference between night vfr , illegal, and night IFR , legal . ?
( you can tell it was a few years since i had the rule book out !!)
I think on reflection that he is just being pedantic and playing to the bull**** tune from the CAA ....to all intents and purposes night VFR ( by that i mean done by a non IR pilot in a non IR machine flying in sight of the ground ) is legal . Only the CAA would wrap it up in some complicated form and call it IFR. .....IMHO
