I think I will leave the night stuff untill I am flying IFR, I have a hard enough job finding my way round in the day time let alone in the dark.
I have been on charters where I've planned to land at the latest possible time considering legal last light only to find that cloud cover has made it pitch black. So legally I was landing before last light, but I was still landing in the dark. A NVFR rating is a great card to have up your sleeve when there's not many other options which is why most charter places want you to have it (notwithstanding night freight etc). Just for a bit of extra safety.
