Holders of a Pilots Licence can fly a light aeroplane in daylight hours but you should consider upgrading your PPL or LAPL to include a Night Rating allowing you to fly after sunset (quite useful when flying during the winter months). The holder of a night rating is able to fly with passengers within the UK during the hours of darkness
Training
Night Rating training is available at Leicester on Tuesdays and Thursday until 8 pm between October and March, as sunset permits.
The course comprises of:
- Theoretical knowledge instruction
- 5 hours flight time in aircraft at night including,
- 3 hours dual instruction
- 1 hour of cross-country navigation (27 nm)
