Is it fine to do more than minimums for Night Rating?

Post by nishranth »

Apart from the minimum Night Rating reuqirements of 5 hours solo and 5 hours dual. Is it okay if I do more solo hours before I submit my night rating application?
I plan to submit my night rating application with 10hours of solo and6 hours of dual night flight time.
Would that be a problem?

No problem at all.

No it's not a problem but why would you do that? You need to be under the supervision of an instructor the whole time.

What I would encourage you to do is do as much of your 100 PIC that you need for your CPL as night XC. This will help you out a lot when you go for your ATPL.

I just delayed my application for Night Rating and ended up doing about 5 additional hours of Solo Night XC. So i was worried if it would be a problem while applying for the Rating
