Night Flying Tips

If this is a VFR flight, pay special attention to the weather...
including the temperature /dewpoint spread. As others have already
said, a cloudless, full moon night makes things less risky. Expect
things to go wrong. Think up some emergency scenarios and have a plan
of action so that you'll know what to do before you ever leave the
ground. Set some personal minimums for weather and fuel that are more
stringent than for a day vfr flight. Do not exceed them. Perform a
thorough pre-flight including all aircraft lighting. Pack at least
one flashlight with good batteries. Doing some instrument training
with an instructor can be a life saver. Make sure your cockpit is
organized.

Any general tips on night flying?
Haven't flown at night in over a year, and I need to go up tonight
and
get current, and do a cross country.
