Night Rating
The Night Rating builds on the knowledge you have learned in your Private Pilot training, and allows you to fly an aircraft under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) at night.
SCHEDULE
You can start at any time. We provide guided self-study to meet the requirements of the rating, as ground school is not required, or you can have one of our instructors tutor you as necessary. The flight and simulator training is done in conjunction with your schedule.
PRIVILEGES
The Night Rating allows you to fly your aircraft with all of the privileges of your Private Pilot Licence, but at night as well. This means that you don't have to cut your travels short or spend the night if you can't make it home by sundown. The Commercial Pilot Licence comes with a night rating included.
