Devil 49,

- Type of flight: VFR, IFR or NGV
We're VFR only. NVGs promised for years, and 2010 looks like it may happen this time.
I take it you mean VFR by night also? If so, there is a significant difference to your terms of reference to the ours on this side of the Atlantic.. In UK there is no night VFR per se.

Police operators, over here classed as Public Transport, have a term known as VCF "visual contact flight" with its own set of weather limits and separation from obstacles, which exempts them from certain parts of the IFR.
