EASA PPL Night Rating - Learning To Land At Night

This is part 2 of my EASA Night Rating Training where we go into the circuit and I learn to land the Piper PA28 at Night! I have to deal with no landing light and no flaps!
Huge thank you to my instructor Bob Stinger and to Wayne and Phil for filming!

[@andydonaldson5593]

Nice work Ben.

[@adamsroofing8095]

Excellent video, thank you Ben. I am on to night rating in 3 weeks , looks rather dark ;)

[@berniehush1211]

Great video

[@vrendus522]

Ha ha, excellent informative video and a very enjoyable viewer, take along. Thanks so much. :)

Night pushes risk up if your over darkness same as flying in IMC. If you lose vacuum pump risk goes even higher. Kind of a catch 22 flying over city makes it easier but if you have a engine out forced landing at night in city more difficult.

Good video as always mate, told you Bob was good!

[@PlaneOldBen]

+Dring Aviation thanks!

[@NickTsiatinis]

Good work! For some reason I always managed to do my best landings when doing the night course... wish the ones during daylight were even half as good! 😆

[@PlaneOldBen]

+Nick T maybe because it's a bit more still at night? Nice to hear you enjoyed your training!

[@ShootersOutdoors]

Had my first night flight last night with 10 landings. I noticed I did exactly what they said in the video and let the runway come up way faster than anticipated. Flared too high and dropped a couple feet for a rough landing on 2 of them. I was the complete opposite of you lol My day landings have been butter and the night ones a little rough for sure.

[@michaelmiklosofficial]

Night rating is on my bucket list and cool video

[@PlaneOldBen]

+Michael Miklos sweet, get it done!

[@BriganteCars]

Great vid. I did my night rating a few months before at EGNH also. Landing without the landing light is horrid :D

[@PlaneOldBen]

+Brigante Design thanks a lot! It certainly is tricky with no landing light.

[@eugenesuhanov104]

Great video, i'm about to begin mine once the weather settles here :)

[@PlaneOldBen]

+Yevgeni Suhanov you'll love it!

[@eugenesuhanov104]

Im sure, plus it will be my first time flying the PA28, so im double excited for that.

[@CAXAviation]

18:29 Cutting corners is something I am definitely not guilty of..... Great video all the same, night flight seems a who different kettle of fish!

[@PlaneOldBen]

+CharlieClass156 yeh it was much more different than I expected.

[@gordonquinn]

If you do decide to come to Prestwick give me a shout, I'm based there lol

[@pilot-plane-coffee1678]

Nice job Ben, I did a video on Night time flying; yours is much better though....lol

[@kdlofty]

What's the background music called that starts at 05:25? Nice video by the way.

[@buzzuser5950]

bob is ace :)

[@jquarrie]

Are you still flying at Blackpool Ben? Just finished up my PPL and planning a night rating soon w Westair - hopefully I’ll see you around for your 5 years of good advice!

[@abbiebaldwinbaldwin]
