SE CAT flights at Night quiz
And after you have done all that it's probably going to be hard to walk away from it!
TC,
Please do explain how you arrived at that conclusion?
CFIT accidents never happen in the UK or EASA Land?

Stabilized as the solution? We flew Day/Night IFR for years on medvac with unstabilized Bell222UT. Never an issue. Even did the odd single-pilot hard IFR night flight, just for the challenge. After all, it was certified for single-pilot IFR. Have since seen lots of stabilized 139, 92, 76’s stove in CFIT.
Try again.

We yanks do a lot of night tours in Robbo's and Jetboxes. CFIT is for HEMS
Now excuse me while I find some wood to knock on
TC....how many night and IMC hours did the US Army fly in OH-6, 13, 23, UH-1, H-19,21, 25, 34, TH-55, and TH-57's? The odd couple of Million or so.....all single engine and un-stabilized....some with only basic instruments and a mag compass.
I am thinking your fingers are operating independently of your brain again.

i have 750 hours at night in a mixture of stabilised and unstabilised platforms.
On the nail SFIM, but stabilisation has nothing to do with CFIT because if you lose it in an unstabilised cab it isnt CFIT but UFIT - totally uncontrolled. How can stabilisation prevent CFIT?
And for the record single engine IFR is totally acceptable to the CAA - ask the boys at Kemble

SAS: Them there's mil pilots, mate.
BIG difiference between mil drivers @ night unstab and the lumpen proletariat in their Meccano kits @ night/Unstab.
Hi Homonculus, how's life in the medical world?
Stab at night 'assists' the pilot when he/she has a 'wobbly'....and loses SA. It's that little difference between life and death at times!
Who you talking about @ Kemble?
As for you Malabo - not biting!

OP it was stopped in 1988 in UK, but not as a result of any accident
some strange statements on here
- like the idea that you can't see clouds coming - of course you can see where there aren't clouds.
- like the mention of engines, not relevant
- stabilisation, are we breeding a generation that cant fly without stabilisation?

I’ve flown at night in Robbies and aircraft that are suppose to be ifr capable like as355 f models. I think the 355 without the autopilot and trim is more unsteady and unstabilised than an r22.
