The Night Rating

The SACAA Night Rating is an additional rating that is added to your existing Private Pilot Licence. The training for this rating involves doing a minimum of 10 hours of Instrument training with an Instructor who has an Instrument Rating.

These instrument hours are done during the day under the “HOOD” in the General Flying Area. The “HOOD” restricts the pilot’s view to that of the instruments in the aircraft. Once you have successfully completed 6 to 7 hours of Instrument Training then you will do Night Circuits followed by a Night Cross-Country exercise. As soon as you have completed the syllabus for the Night Rating will your instructor recommend you for Testing with a Grade II Flight Instructor.

Please contact the school for the latest COSTING and TRAINING OPTIONS for the Night Rating.
