Night rating
Short days in winter reduce your opportunities to fly… Unless you hold a Night Rating! As a Private Pilot, you can indeed obtain such a qualification which allows you to plan your trip beyond the sunset and to experience the enchanting beauty of night time flight.
The syllabus comprises 5 hours of theory and 5 hours flight time of which 2 hours must be done solo and 1hour cross country with an instructor. The whole training must be completed within 6 months.
Prior starting your night flight qualification, you must have a total of 100 hours of experience in your logbook, of which 60 hours must be logged as pilot-in-command and at least 20 hours cross-country.
The Night Rating is required to obtain your Instrument Rating.
