The night rating allows you to be able to fly aircraft during the time of ‘night’ as qualified by ICAO, being the time from 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise.
The Night Rating extends the basic privileges of the EASA PPL and perhaps the most enjoyable rating any aviator can achieve with the least required training time. This rating allows you to carry passengers at night subject to certain PPL restriction and currency requirements and also a prerequisite for many of the more advanced towards professional pilot’s skill set.
