Night solo XC?
A question to the group. Do you normally fly many night solo cross
country flights? I have been going out to the local airport every couple months to do some night flying, but it's usually solo just around the patch to get night current so I can carry a passenger at night. The few times that I have done cross countries at night, I either have a passenger (usually pilot rated too) or an instructor (during training a few years ago). I was going to do a short night XC a couple weeks ago and took off, got about 10 miles out and didn't 'feel' right so I returned to the pattern. It was probably just me, but it seemed like some strange noises from the plane that I don't notice during day flight. If I have a passenger, I'm not as concerned about flying XC at night. All of my night flights have been when there is close to a full moon so visibility isn't a factor. -Greg B. |
