A holder of an IFR rating is authorised to fly at night under the VFR (CASR 61.855).
If she does not meet the recency experience requirements for IFR flight because she has not conducted 3 instrument approaches in 90 days (61.870), nor made an IFR flight of more than one hour (61.875), is she still entitled to fly at Night under the VFR, if there are no passengers?

Or does the NVFR rating's recent experience apply? (One night take-off and landing within 6 months (CASR 61.965)).

Previous student grappling with the regs.

Howdy Rubber,
I work in the industry, but on helicopters. However, same Regs apply.

Most IFR operators I have flown with operating under the IFR by day and/or night, ensure pilots conduct a NVFR Flight Review every two years (alternating IPCs), so that if the exact scenario you outline occurs and as long as NVFR recency requirements are met, we can legally operate NVFR. Of course assuming the Wx conditions are suitable/legal.

In summary, I think your take on it is correct.
Hope that helps.

Thanks PJ,
Why do they do the NVFR flight review if the IPC covers them for night VFR anyway? I might have missed something in your reply.

You're correct Rubber. The Regs do allow a pilot with a current IPC to fly at night under the VFR.
I may have muddied the water with my previous comment. The purpose behind ensuring our pilots had a valid Night VFR Flight Review was in case the simulator OPC/IPC cycle was missed for any reason and the pilot's IPC had expired. A flight was still possible under Night VFR if both the conditions and pilot currency allowed.
Oh, It's a joy jumping around the Regs!
At least CASA got the Air Law exam right, unlike the CFPA which is completely off the mark with the express intent of intentionally entrapping students. I'll write to the Minister one of these days.....
