Either one, it's the exact same checkride.

Why would an examiner ask a sport pilot about night operations if the pilot
hasn't been trained in them?

How did you determine they were the same checkride?

Just asking
Are you required to have time up night flying to do a PPL in the US ?

With the exception of those receiving flight training in Alaska, yes.

Even for those in Alaska, a private pilot certificate could be issued with
a limitation that night flying is prohibited - and the person would be
required to get night training within 12 months or the certificate would
become invalid. The rationale appears to be that training during the summer
at high latitudes yields insufficient night hours.

Thanks for that.
Our Regs allowed us to go no more than 10 nm aay from the Airfield so
although I did a few hours night circuits I wasn't interested...

I didn't say the oral was the same. Only the
checkride.

How did you determine they were the same checkride?


As per a Senior CFI, former commercial jet pilot
that I fly with that currently trains dozens of folks,
works 7 days a week in aviation and in a 141
school and with the FAA.

Hope this helps when deciding what level of
piloting expertise you should expect when choosing
your training.

Thanks,
