My answer as a non-CFI is.. I would expect the number of CFI's who
actually endorse a student for night solo to be VERY low.. simply as a
result of the environment in which we instruct and train.

My answer as a CFI is - if not now, when?

When he passes his check ride. Until then, I don't need the liability
incurred by allowing students to fly at night.
