Night Rating Licence Privileges [Archive]

Hello,

First time poster here with a stupid yet straightforward question!!

I am a Night Rating holder. I was recently looking at my licence and checking a few details when I noticed my licence has 'SEP (Land) - Nil' within the privileges, but no mention of a Night Rating. Here goes the stupid question, if I am unrestricted at night, should my licence have some mention of Night Rating underneath this, or just have no mention of any night restrictions (meaning I am unrestricted a night).

I'm just trying to make sure my licensing is correct, your answers are much appreciated!!

Your night rating should be listed in section XII as is your SEP(land) also with the remark: "Nil".

Look for: "The priveleges of this licence may be exercised at night".

maoraigh 1 that wording was used in the old UK licenses but has not been used since.

Thanks all,

So it looks like my licence is incorrect. Strange seeing as I sent it off to the CAA way back in 2017 when I did my Night Rating and got the paperwork all back with no issues.
Best contact them I guess??

What do you mean by: "...........got all the paperwork back with no issues"? Can you explain.

You shouldn't have got any paperwork back as you were only required to send the night rating application form; your original licence (to be replaced) and otherwise only certified copies as listed on the form

The new licence to include the night rating..

Apologies for the confusion, what I meant was I sent off the relevant paperwork (the application form) and licence, as well as my log book.
I received my licence back with no issues, but only after reviewing it recently did I notice that my 'new' licence did not include that 'Nil' text on my privileges. In contact with the CAA now though.

Thanks,
Sam.
