Night Rating (QVN)

The QVN (Night Rating) is an additional qualification for pilots holding a Private Pilot Licence (PPL) or Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), enabling them to fly at night. This qualification is essential for flying in night conditions, as night flying involves specific challenges, such as orientation in the dark and piloting mainly by instruments. To obtain the NVQ, pilots must undergo practical training that includes a certain number of hours of night flying under the supervision of an instructor.
