Does anyone notice the incongruity of; to qualify for night ops, you
go out unqualified and perform night ops...

ahh well...


But you don't go out alone unqualified and perform night ops to qualify for
night ops. Do you?

Why wouldn't you? You're not legal to carry anyone until you complete your
three T&Ls.... I suppose you could pay an instructor but why bother? The
airplane doesn't know it's dark.

Because night ops qualification requires 3 hours of night flight training
and flight training requires a flight instructor.

There's a big difference between gain the qualification for night ops and
maintaining currency for night ops.

Nowhere.


So why do you consider someone not current at night to have the proper
qualification to fly at night?

It sounds like you're making up the rules as you go. You should stick to
proper terminology.
