Another Cirrus Down

I once landed at an unlit airport at night without benefit of landing
light. I just set up a 500'/minute descent and let it find the
runway. Worked fine.


I used to crank the lights up full blast at fields with pilot controlled
lighting. No more. Now I crank it up full blast until I'm well established on
final, then bring the lighting down to the lowest level. Makes the runway jump
out much more vividly in the flare rather than an aritificial plane about a foot
or two higher created by bright runway lights.
