Night flight operations

The night flight type rating is based, purely and exclusively, on the abilities of a pilot to adapt to a flight without visibility, in situations of visibility beyond the usual ones that he can experience during the day. Night flight and instrumental flight have a significant similarity since the pilot must base his flight on the understanding of the information of the control and navigation instruments, and be aware of the erroneous sensations that the body may generate in a confusing scenario, such as flying in total darkness, approaching a highly illuminated airport within a completely dark area, flying over immense illuminated cities, or simply performing the operation on the ground with runway and taxiway lights.



All these situations present a certain degree of confusion to those who do not have the necessary tools to understand the flight environment, an environment alien to everyday life that will test all your senses.



This work will give you all the tools so that you can carry out a safe and efficient operation within a hostile environment, such as a night flight.
