CASA IR Night ?
Hello All
I am just trying to find the paragraph that states that a holder of an IR rating is allowed to operate the AC at night. (even if the pilot does not hold a NVFR)
I remember this from my IREX exam but cannot find it anymore.
Thank you
Alex

Under Part 61 M
IFR is with reference to cockpit instrumentation so whether it's night or day is irrelevant. Therefore there is no such thing as Night/Day IFR or IMC. However there are still the requirements for operations at night WRT to take-offs and landings, lighting etc...
VFR at night is a different concept to day VFR as it requires a level of instrument capability, and hence it has an additional rating to allow it.
61.855 Privileges of instrument ratings
Subject to Subpart 61.E and regulations 61.860 to 61.880, the holder of an instrument rating is authorised to pilot an aircraft:
(a) under the IFR; or
(b) at night under the VFR.
