VFR Night training
Introduction
Training aerodromes
Babice Airport (EPBC) offers infrastructure for night flights all year round. It is the only airport in Poland, which is free from commercial traffic with professional runway lighting systems and a 24-hour flight supervision. It allows for undisturbed night flight training without long queuing to give way to inbound commercial traffic. Safety standards are also higher due to rescue services in place.
Trainer airplanes
We offer PS-28, AT-3 glass cocpit, Diamond DA-20 and C172. They are the safest planes in their class. For over 30 years they were improved to perfection. Cessna engines have the longest time intervals between inspections, which are assigned for the most reliable power plants. There are over 100 000 planes of Cessna 100 series in use around the world.
Preconditions
Before the pilot decides to enter the VFR NIGHT training, he or she should know by heart the location of all indicators, switches, levers and navigational aids. With eyes shut, he or she must find them. VFR night flying is much more tiring than flying during the day but it gives more satisfaction. VFR Night training can be done by PPL(A) student pilots towards the end of the training programme or PPL(A) holders. Class II medical certificates is also needed to start the training.
