Night Rating

The Night Rating Course is designed to provide aspiring and licensed pilots with the theoretical knowledge necessary to safely operate an aircraft during nighttime conditions. Whether you’re working toward your first night flight or completing the requirements for your Night Rating, this course gives you all the study materials you need to succeed.

Flying at night introduces new challenges that differ significantly from daytime operations. Reduced visibility, visual illusions, and increased reliance on instruments make it essential for pilots to have a solid understanding of night flight operations. This online course helps you prepare for those conditions by covering the theoretical components required for night flying in a structured and accessible way.

Upon enrollment, students receive access to all course materials for a full year. These materials are designed to support your practical flight training by explaining key concepts such as night navigation, lighting systems, physiological limitations of night vision, and flight planning considerations specific to nighttime operations.

Whether you’re pursuing a Private or Commercial Pilot License, earning a Night Rating is an important step in expanding your flight capabilities and increasing your confidence as a pilot. This course helps ensure you are ready—mentally and academically—for the unique environment of night flying.
