As an owner of a couple of non retract single engine aeroplanes I wonder who on earth would be mad enough to be flying this sort of aircraft at night anyway. IMHO as a simple PPL type I would leave that sort of flying to idiots or professionals or both! If a 100,000 Cossacks were bearing down on Old Sarum's grass runway I would be in the air in an instant IFR day or night! I do practise IFR ad nauseam on a serious Flight Sim but only to use should the Cossacks actually appear - otherwise it's CAVOK aviating for me. I do have electric horizons and such but they are mainly used in heavy haze/horizonless overwater flights just for peace of mind! Or crossing the Alderney Triangle!

Aircraft are Skyarrow 650T and CFM StarStreak 912 - both PFA registered and based at EGLS - Shadow Flight Centre
