Private FlyingThe forum for discussion and questions about any form of flying where you are doing it for the sheer pleasure of flight, rather than being paid!
According to JAR 1.125(c) you require 5 hrs of night flying of which at least 3 hrs are dual instruction, including 1 hrs navigation and 5 solo take-offs and full stop landings.
Julian, the CAA seemed quite happy to issue me with a night qualification, and all my night dual was with FAA instructors, so I guess the answer is No.
