Looking back to my RAF days, I see that we didn't start basic night flying on the Jet Provost until
after both the Advanced Instrument Flying Grading test
and the Final Navigation Test had been passed successfully, by which time we had around 95 hours, of which 28 were solo.
As well as around 140 hours (55 solo) on the Chipmunk.
I agree with lady in red - nothing will change until there's a serious accident. Fortunately industry seems to be coping safely
despite the JAA.....
