Night Qualification
Robbo0885,
For what it's worth...You could go and insist that you do your NQ during your PPL . After all it's a minimum of 45 hours for a JAR FCL SEP (A). In the final analysis I am sure your club will be happy to let you burn hours doing so if that is what you say you want to do (it's your money after all) . Then if you fail your skills test at 45 hours because your PFL's were not up to scratch or your glide approach was mince you have no room to complain.
I completed the syllabus for PPL in 40 hours. I used the 5 remaining to practice diversions , PFL's and steep turns for my skills test. I did this not because my skills were poor but because the objective was to get a PPL. I did the night qual immediately after.
I guess the choice is yours, if you are confident ( and some folks are ) then go for it...if not.......but the club will get the money one way or the other if that's what they are about.
