That aside, it probably still make sense to do some night flights every once in a while even with IR, at least the cockpit management is definitely a different story at night.
I'd hasten to say....what a lot of cobblers!
NVFR requires
visual conditions plus a landing at night with limited peripheral and spacial references. IFR requires an IMC approach followed by a daytime normal landing: no different to any other day landing apart from the approach.
To think that I had evil thoughts about some of our Australian legislation
