VFR Night
VFR Night
The night rating is an extension of the private pilot license. Without the night rating, your PPL is valid from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset. With the night rating, this restriction no longer applies and you can use your license 24 hours a day. Flying at night is a fantastic experience. And you don’t need the complex instrument rating, you can also fly according to visual flight rules.
The night rating is mandatory for CPL or ATPL holders.
