NVFR

Night VFR (NVFR) is an additional flight permit to fly at night (at airports which are equipped for it) under the VFR (Visual Flight Rules) conditions. It can be acquired by pilots who have a LAPL or PPL.

Theoretical part contains 6 hours of lectures from:

Airports at night

Psychological phenomena at night

Navigation at night

Before beginning the practical training candidate must undergo an internal test of knowledge from the theory.

Candidate must fly a total of at least 5 hours, which must include:

3 hours of flight with an instructor

5 solo take-offs and landing with a full stop (at least 1 solo hour)

1 flight with a flight instructor long at least 50 km and 1 hour of flight time or more

Training for NVFR is completed after the successful completion of the program and does not require an examination flight.

NVFR rating does not have a validity limit. But if, in the past 90 days, the pilot has not completed at least 3 take-offs and 3 landings as pilot in command of an airplane of the same class or type, he must not operate an airplane under visual flight conditions at night and must, before further flight, verify his qualification.
