Does the holder of a PIFR with night rating have any recency requirements for flight at night?
CAO 40.2.3
Table 3, Flight tests for the issue of FPA
Section 5 (Night FPA)
b) determining whether an aircraft may be flown
under the I.F.R. at night
This would mean you need to be aware that you are subject to IFR rules.
CAO 40.2.1
Priveleges and Limitations
14 Flight by night under night V.F.R. procedures
14.1 A particular grade of command instrument rating authorises the holder of the
rating to fly an aircraft of the category concerned within Australia as pilot in
command, or co-pilot, using the navigation aids endorsed in the holder’s
personal log book in the following circumstances:
(a) Private and aerial work flights under night V.F.R. procedures provided
the pilot meets the aeronautical and recent experience requirements
applicable to a night V.F.R. endorsement.
Does the holder of CIR have any requirements to have completed 3 t&l in 90 days at night prior to carrying passengers at night?
See above
what part of an IFR flight is a NVFR procdure?
You can hold a CIR without a NVFR. The difference is navigating by reference to instruments (CIR) vs. navigating by visual methods (NVFR). If your CIR expires though, your NVFR priveleges are also unable to be exercised.
Are you just looking for a way around the rules?
Remember JFK Jr???? Guess who wasn't current?
This really is a no brainer.
