HELICOPTER NIGHT RATING
NIGHT RATING
Add a night rating to your helicopter licence — night circuits, night cross-country and instrument time flown to the Transport Canada standard.
FLY AFTER DARK
A night rating extends your privileges to fly at night and is a common requirement for commercial operators running early starts, late finishes and utility work through the shoulder seasons. Training is flown to the Transport Canada standard set out in CARs 421.42.
You will build confidence with night circuits, night cross-country navigation, illusions and lighting, emergency handling in the dark, and dual instrument time — all in the Robinson R44 out of Okotoks Air Ranch.
Contact us with your licence and hours and we will build a night rating package and schedule around your availability.
