AAAAHHHHH night flying. What do I do if there's an engine failiure, how can I pick a field when performing a PFL. The trick is when you are at 100 feet or so you turn the landing light on and if you don't like what you see you turn it off again.
Just kidding. The secret is good instrument flying backed up by position fixes with navaids, checked on the map also, and identification of any prominant landmarks. Instrument awarness is the key particulerly when the weather gets bad and you cant see very well. Keep practicing and I'm sure your instructor will have some handy advice.
