NIGHT VFR RATING

NVR1 Conduct a traffic pattern at night

 1.                     Unit description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to take off, land and operate an aircraft safely in the traffic pattern at night.

 1.                     Elements and performance criteria
     1.               NVR1.1 – Control aircraft on the ground at night
            1.        instrument and cockpit lighting are adjusted to an appropriate level for taxiing;
            2.        ATC instructions and manoeuvres of the aircraft on the ground at night within the approved movement area as defined by aerodrome ground lighting are complied with;
            3.         aircraft lighting to identify obstructions, other aircraft and taxiway and runway limits is used as required;
            4.        aircraft is taxied at a speed which allows for an adequate lookout to be maintained to avoid obstructions.
     2.               NVR1.2 – Activate pilot activated lighting (PAL)
            1.        appropriate radiotelephone frequency is utilised to activate PAL system when within radio range;
            2.        transmit sequence is utilised to activate PAL system;
            3.         wind indicator lighting is monitored to determine end of activation period.
     3.               NVR1.3 – Take-off aircraft at night
         1.         For aircraft in the aeroplane category, as follows:
