As a VFR pilot who likes to fly at night, I enjoyed Jim Wolper’s “Prepping for Darkness,” September 2021), and a couple of additional points come to mind. First, up your personal weather minimums a lot—four-mile visibility might be fine during the day, but I won’t go unless it’s 10 at night. Second, beware the long final approach at night. I learned early that it’s somehow easy to drift well below the glide path without realizing it on a five-mile final to a well-lit runway over dark (and often hostile) terrain.
Keep up the good work.
