NVFR – night rating
The night flight authorization is an extension of the private pilot’s license. Without the night flight authorization, your PPL is valid from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset. With the night flight authorization this restriction does not apply and you can use your license 24 hours a day. Flying at night is a fantastic experience. And you do not need the complex instrument flight license, but can fly according to visual flight rules. The night flight authorization is mandatory for CPL or ATPL holders.
