I'm a CFI and was curious how many CFI's sign their students off for
flying solo at night. I personally don't feel comfortable doing it.

Thanks,

Back when I was a student I remember several of my cross countries
being done at night (in a tailwheel with no landing light no less).
However, the flight school I work with now prohibits it. I would say
the night training we give toward the private is pretty minimum
(especially for the student that has over a year between checkride and
night flying). I would expect students to come back after their
private and ask for more night training before renting at night.
