To the above
cautions, I'd add: learning how to detect clouds (with and without city
lights underneath) and *really* listening to the current reports from
Fligh****ch. A/FD reading skills are also important - both the airports I
used have traps for occasional night fliers.

Hello David,

Please elaborate-- what airports, what traps, and what information in the
A/FD is useful in avoiding those traps?

Cheers,
