As a new private or commercial pilot, it can be hard to get lots of night flying experience. In the intro, you will see that flying at night over the Hudson River is beautiful, but has increased dangers. I have flown over 100 hours at night, in small general aviation airplanes. I share 21 lessons, tips, and examples of things I wish I had known when flying at night.
Also, we will go over three night flying accident case studies, to make us all safer pilots: N73WA, Catalina Island. N733CD, Arkansas and C-FBWH, Tennessee.
