NIGHT RATING, help!
hi everyone,
I was due to do my night rating at my local school but they have pulled the plug now we are changing to british summertime. i am starting my cpl course in june and was wondering if anyone knows of a school in the uk who would be able to do a night rating in the next month or so? Any suggestions welcome thanks folks

I did mine in BST. The instructor and I flew to Southend, parked and when it got dark went flying. To keep the airfield open for the cross country return was a very modest fee and we completed in one night. It was a few years ago but I am told it is still done. may be worth enquiring. it cost a bit more but was worth it.

Night rating
I'm doing mine right now with Donair at East Midlands. I would try them but it surely has to be ASAP with it getting lighter. Only issues there are, are the high traffic volumes and that you have to be on your game with your R/T as they have full ATC. Can get a bit hectic if you're only used to a little A/G Radio outfit! Hope this helps.
