Hey Snigs, how's it going
Landings is the bit I find hard.
It's a completely different animal at night, the rest of it's okay but the bit at the end I always have problems with (I was night flying last night in a Duchess, with a safety pilot, couldn't get the thing to sit down properly, back to the drawing board).
Apart from that - in a single always bear in mind that the black stuff in between the street lights could be land, water, hills, buildings - you just can't tell so if the donk goes - pray.
Oh, and you can't see clouds at night.
James Allan (Pilot Magazine) wrote a book on the night rating, I've never read it but I have heard good reports.
And I think that flying at night is one of the best experiences I've had as a pilot, I've only got about 8 night hours or so at present but I intend to do a lot more over the winter and it is wonderful. You'll love it.
Who you doing it with?
