Aircraft Checkout Flights

This is a companion posting to the one entitled Head Scratcher.

When I do an aircraft checkout, I will only fly them during the daylight.
I don't want to be fumbling around in the dark in an unfamiliar aircraft
trying to find the right thing-a-ma-jig to throw, pull or twist.
Once I am comfortable with the aircraft during daylight, I would feel at
ease to practice night landings.

Do any of the instructors on this group perform initial aircraft checkouts
at night as a matter of normal practice?

Even with an experienced pilot, a complex aircraft will provide a certain
amount of learning curve before achieving proficiency.

Right! In your business, a checkout consists of learning which switches
are shiny or have the paint worn off.
