- Side 1 — from planning to the logbook entry, with every night-specific item marked.
- Side 2 — night emergencies: inadvertent IMC, alternator failure, electrical failure, engine failure, radio failure and lost pilot; tower light signals and key figures; spaces for the flight data and the aeroplane’s speeds.
- It complements, and never replaces, the checklists of the aeroplane’s flight manual (AFM/POH).
Pack
Pack · Manual + Checklist
The Training Manual (either language edition) together with the Night VFR Checklist.
Independent training material published by SET STANDARD. It does not replace the regulations in force, the AIP, the approved manuals of an ATO/DTO or the aeroplane flight manual, and it does not by itself grant any rating: the night rating is obtained by completing an FCL.810 course at an ATO or DTO.
