Just did my first cross country (120nm) at night in ! KORL to KOCF back to KORL.

Most important lesson I learned? Don't at night under visual flight rules. I should wait until I get my instrument rating if I want to fly at night.

@LouisIngenthron could also bring a CFI with you or safety pilot who has lots of night experience to help build your experience.

@WiredForFlight That would certainly work for any round trips, but I might have trouble convincing my CFI to stay at my mom's house for a weekend, lol.

@LouisIngenthron great lesson learned. I really wish that the private pilot license would need more than 3 hours of night.

@WiredForFlight Honestly, when you look at it from an experience perspective, all the requirements for private pilot license should probably be doubled at least.

But when you look at it from a financial perspective, I can see how some think it's too high a barrier of entry already.

@LouisIngenthron nice! What did you throw out the window?

@freemo Out the window? I'm flying a 50-year-old Cessna. If I open the window in flight, the window will be what gets thrown out! 😆
