Basic Training
The Night Rating - A valuable addition to your Private Pilot Licence
There are no additional examinations required but students will be provided with the required study materials and full briefings on all facets of night flying
A night rating is the next logical step for the private pilot and allows you to fly in visual flight conditions at after dark. Not only is the rating useful but the 15 hours of training that you will carry out towards the attainment of the night rating add greatly to your flying skills
Course requirements are a minimum of 10 hours flying lessons under simulated instrument conditions. For the new pilot this will be a new and exciting introduction to the art of flying on instruments alone. Of the 10 hours of instrument training, 5 hours may be carried out in a flight simulator. A further 5 hours will consist of flying at night including both training in night landings and night navigation. The course includes a complete flight at night visiting the nearby towns of Grahamstown and Port Alfred.
When planning for a Private Pilot Licence consider extending your stay by about 14 days and add a night rating as well
