Night
flying
At the Aéro-Club du Dauphiné we also fly at night. An experience quite different from daytime flying, which helps you improve your flying technique. First of all, you need to complete our flight school's “night flying training”.
Night flying is organised differently at each airfield, to respect the regulations and the neighbours' sleep.
Night flying at Le Versoud
On Tuesday and Thursday evenings in winter, when the cloud base (9,000 feet minimum) allows and a safe diversion airfield has been arranged, around thirty of us take off into an often starry sky to enjoy a somewhat selfish (but often shared) and above all unique pleasure! Nothing compares with night flying, a source of intense and special happiness, where all is silence, softness and serenity.
