Night VFR Soaring (USA)
In issuing a new airworthiness certificate, my local FAA FSDO examiner
told me yesterday that the restrictions on experimental aircraft (which includes a lot of sailplanes) to fly only in day VFR had been removed, and night VFR was now permitted in aircraft equipped with the necessary navigation lights. In Arizona, our short summer days sometimes have us on final glide as the sun is setting and we do occasionally land around (or even just after) sunset. I know most contest rules cut off soaring at or before sunset, but I wonder if there any circumstances where this would be useful? Night OLC, anyone? Mike |
