Course Description:

'' To fly a private aircraft at night you will need a Night Rating. Our night course includes 10 Hours of night flying, 5 hours of which are solo time and 5 hours are dual time. The course runs all year long but can be completed quicker in the winter months due to the shorter days and longer nights. The price listed on our course costs page includes all ground time and flight time.

Unfortunately, there is a wide spread misconception that a night rating is a valuable addition for a new commercial pilot. This is not the case, Canadian law does not allow commercial helicopters to fly at night even if the pilot holds a night rating. To fly commercially at night requires and IFR aircraft, and 2 IFR Pilots.

The following is an excerpt from the CARs regarding night ratings:
