If it is a dark night with no moonlight, without external cues, it is basically an IFR approach and landing.
WTF ... unless you are doing an approved IAL ... it is a Visual Approach ... fullstop.

and ...

Unless the pilot is very experienced and IFR rated, if going into this type of country airport it is all too easy to forget in the stress of a night approach, the actual height above terrain on base and final.
WTF ... unless you are IFR Rated you'll prang in? Do we not have a NVFR Rating any more? Can't NVFR pilots land safely on a dark night? What's going on in this place ?
