European Flight Training

The Night Qualification extends the basic privileges of the EASA PPL to include flight at night. The night rating is perhaps the most enjoyable rating any aviator can achieve, and the one with the least required training time. 

The Qualfication allows you to carry passengers at night (subject to certain PPL restriction and currency requirements). This opens up a whole new world of flying possibilities. Flying at night is very different to daylight flying and many piltos find it more rewarding. The night qualification is also a prerequisite for many of the more advanced flying qualifications, and being able to fly at night is an integral part of a professional pilot’s skill set.

Training for the Night Rating

The course comprises 5 hours total flight time. Three hours are dual (with instructor) flight training at night, including night navigation, general handling skills, night landings, emergency procedures and awareness of human factors. Two hours of solo night navigation and landings are also included in the course.
