I completed my nvfr test december 2012 in black hole conditions in north queensland from sea level to 6500ft over the rang no towns no lights hardest thing i can imagine you can not trust your body one little bit, i vowed that night to never fly in those conditions ever....
Two weeks later early morning ready with family at xmas to get away we arived early with new nvfr to black condiotions it was the easiest and best decsion i ever made to wait for the sun to give us a basic horizon in all 10 mins and even then you are on the edge and using every skill you have i have flown quite a bit around qld outback and abuse it at your peril we were all taught its better to be down here than up there wishing you were down here.
