I did a couple of hours of night flying last year as part of my PPL training.

I very much enjoyed it, and on a clear moonlit night, the visibility is absolutely staggering - it feels like you can see to infinity.

It's also a fantastic experience landing at an airport with the full runway lighting.

Even though I'm now based at a grass airfield with no lighting, I very much intend on completing my remaining hours for the night qualification as soon as it starts getting dark again.

I don't know how practically useful it will end up being, but this hasn't put me off.
