NIGHT RATING (NR) TRAINING

Upon completing your PPL (Private Pilot Licence) the next step is to complete a Night Rating. With this additional rating on your licence you can start enjoying more freedom with your flying as you will no longer be bound to flying during daylight hours only, you may now take to the skies at night. Completing a night rating is not only the next logical step after completing a PPL but it will also further develop the skills already learnt during your PPL training which will improve your competency and safety as a pilot.
