I haven't yet done a night rating, and read with interest everyones opinion on this.
I am curious, leaving aside evryones opinion, what is generally the advise received from instructors for this? and do you do any sort of pfl training at night? I know this would be very dangerous at a low level due to unlight obstructions, but surely there is some form of training for it?
Personally getting as low as you can, and if you see trees ahead where you were hoping would be a big field, and you've too little altitude left to do much about it, an intentional stall would seem like a good idea to me. Use up as much energy as possible. Would that be fool hardy?
