The pilot had also logged six hours of night-flight time as pilot-in-command during the previous six months, for a total of nine take-offs and landings and had therefore satisfied the recency requirements of the CAR s.
However, of note, all of these took place in areas where the surrounding environment was illuminated. This is not unusual: flight training schools are often located near populated areas, meaning training is often conducted in and around lit runways or heliports.
Yet on the evening of the occurrence, the pilot was faced with a quite different set of circumstances. It was very dark: there was no visible moon, the roads next to the airport are not lit, and there are few nearby homes.
Moreover, there are many trees in the direction of the planned destination. The TSB 's report, therefore, made this risk one of its key findings: pilots without extensive night flight experience outside of well-lit areas are at higher risk of spatial disorientation.
Moreover, it is also possible that the minimum requirements to obtain a private helicopter pilot night rating may not be enough to adequately educate and demonstrate to private helicopter pilots the risks involved in night flying—including the visual illusions that can lead to spatial disorientation.
