Lesson 18: Flying at Night

The sun will come out tomorrow!  Bet your bottom dollar that it will come out tomorrow!

But, in the meantime, you’re going to have to figure out how to fly in the dark.  The other option is to sleep in the cramped cockpit of that Cessna 150 you’re flying and wait for the sun to rise; however, that’s an awful option, and flying at night is actually beautiful, peaceful, and typically very smooth.  In fact, it is probably going to become one of your favorite types of flying!

 

If you’re ever faced with a forced landing at night, turn on the landing lights to see the landing area. If you don’t like what you see, turn ’em back off.
