How do people go about getting permission to fly at night? I have the required lights installed, but the FAA inspector that inspected my plane pointed out that FAR 91.319 states:
"(d) Each person operating an aircraft that has an experimental certificate shall -
(1) Advise each person carried of the experimental nature of the aircraft;
(2) Operate under VFR, day only, unless otherwise specifically authorized by the Administrator..."
There is nothing in my operating limitations that specifically prohibits night flying, but it does state I have to comply with FAR 91.319.
I guess I have the same question about flying experimental airplanes IFR, however I don't intend to do that. The inspector, while helpful, was very obviously not willing to negotiate limitations in the regs so I didn't press him about it.
