Night requirement for BCPL/IR
I know it sounds stupid but I am a FAA instructor and I am not aware of regulations for CAA. A student of mine who has his Oz CPL rating is doing his CAA IMC and night rating here in USA and wants to know what are the night requirements for BCPL and IR. He will be visiting UK next month to convert his Oz license to CAA license.
Thanx alot in advance

You don't even ned a night rating to get a BCPL; but for CPL you need to have 10 hours P1 Night or IF X-country, and 2 night P1 trips where T/O and landing are at least 65 nautical miles apart IN A STRAIGHT LINE!
Apart from that, all you really need is a night rating on your PPL.

Well I was reading the CAP 54 today and all it says is that you need 10 hrs total night time and a night XC. no mention of P1 time. I am still confused

What I actually said was that you must have 10 hours P1 NIGHT OR IF X-COUNTRY. If, like me, you used your IMC as a backup to get you out of trouble, you will need to do some x-c trips at night to get to that number.

Checked CAP 54. You can have an IR without a night rating but you cannot fly at night. For CPL issue you must have 10hrs TT at night with 5hrs PIC and a long x-country. To get this you would, of course, need a night rating.
Anybody recommend a good school to do a very quick and cheap Night Rating?

Good luck with the IR, by the way.
