Night Rating Explained: Requirements, Cost & Validity (EASA)

This video gives you complete information about the EASA Night Rating — everything a PPL(A) pilot needs to know before flying after dark: ✅ What is a Night Rating? ✅ What actually counts as "night"? (it's exact civil twilight times — not "when it gets dark") ✅ Why do you need one? (and why it's the first step toward your IR and CPL) ✅ What are the training requirements? (theory + flight hours under Part-FCL.810) ✅ How long is it valid for? (plus the 90-day recent-experience rule) ✅ How much does the training cost, and how long does it take? All things considered, the Night Rating is one of the most fun and rewarding ratings you can add to your licence — it opens up a whole new side of flying and expands your operational perspective. Whether you fly purely for the joy of a calm night sky or you're building toward a commercial career, we're sure you're going to love it 😃 If you have any questions, please post them in the comments and we'll answer every single one 🙌 ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:39 What we'll cover 01:02 Important disclaimer (EASA) 01:39 What is a Night Rating? 02:34 SERA — flight rules & conditions (VFR/IFR, VMC/IMC) 03:28 VFR — two options 03:56 What actually counts as "night"?
