JAR ATPL application form

[A Very Civil Pilot]

Having finally unfrozen the ATPL, I've been filling in the above form.

For the night flying section it has, among others, one entry for number of solo take-offs, and another for number of solo landings.

Are they expecting 2 different numbers?

Mmmmm..that's tricky one. I wonder if it's becuase you might not always be the handling pilot for take-off and landing. Or perhaps you might take-off before dark and land after it becomes officially night.

It says solo, so implying to me I'm the only pilot on board, but I grant you the take-off in day: land at night scenario.
