From France at Night VFR
Hi
Friend of mine says his flight plan to leave France VFR after sunset was refused and he was asked to file IFR. The reason give was that night VFR in the UK was not allowed!!
Anyone else had this problem? He had the problem a couple of weeks ago but I have crossed VFR France to UK at night without any problems before.

Yes. So how do you depart IFR from France (which is what they asked) without an IR? You should be able to fly VFR to the boundary and then fly within the limitations of your UK night rating?

Box 8 FP
Y= IFR first
Z = VFR first
Box 15 = where rules change = eg Z from FIR
Also always useful for a IFR departure because the weather dictates but when you know you will become VFR en route and wish to stay outside the airways.
