Your Night Rating journey starts with the right preparation.
NIGHT RATING
Your PPL is just the beginning of your aviation journey. A Night Rating is an important next step after obtaining a Private Pilot Licence, ideally before progressing into extensive hour building, because it broadens a pilot’s flying experience, improves overall competency and provides greater flexibility when planning flights.
A night rating allows you to fly after dark, in good visual weather (VFR) conditions and have the benefit of being less restricted when planning and executing a particular flight.
For aviation purposes, night is defined as 15 minutes after sunset and 15 minutes before sunrise.
