No- the aircraft is single pilot VFR only (nicely equipped, and with radar, but no autopilot).
I am not saying that the weather is bad- generally, it is good- it's just very dark without a moon, most of the time.
Plan B is to turn around before encountering IMC- be that a loss of horizon, or clouds/low viz. Trouble is, it is sometimes darker behind you than in front of you.
What are we doing? Just moving people from Point A to Point B- nothing spectacularly interesting...other than this being a fairly uncommon operation.
