“I think those who think they can navigate visually at night, beyond their own well trodden back yard, are kidding themselves.”
As is quite common IO I would not agree. I gave up night flight for safety reasons some time ago but when I was young and bold I would “tour” at night. On a cold clear night from reasonable altitude you can see a very long way. As soon as you get used to this visual nav is very very easy. I would rather navigate on a clear night than in 3k vis during the day.
