We might assume that most pilots who fly night IMC have therefore taken what steps they consider necessary to best manage the risk. However the accident rate is high. This might suggest it is one of the most “demanding” forms flying takes.
Umm ... or could this possibly be because, unlike flying aeros etc, there's by and large sweet FA you can do if the donkey stops ?
The more interesting question is why so many people know this and yet still do it (and yes, that includes me, including directly over the North Sea on a few occasions ...) ?
