1.1. Departure, destination and ALTN AD must be registered or certified for VFR OPS;

1.2. Predominant meteorological conditions at the departure, destination and alternate AD must be equal or above MNM established for VFR OPS.

1.3. The meteorological information regarding surface wind present at the aerodrome is made available at least by one wind direction indicator, by the aerodrome ATS unit or by the Aerodrome Automatic Broadcasting Station.

2.1. Departure, destination and ALTN AD must be registered or certified for night VFR OPS.

2.2. Night VFR OPS at aerodromes will only be carried out when complying with the following conditions:


a) meteorological minima regarding ceiling and visibility for VFR flights are according to the pertinent legislation established by DECEA;
b) aerodrome beacons the aerodrome may have must be operational;

NOTE: ANAC will rule on aerodrome beacon requirements.

c) the meteorological information regarding surface wind located at the aerodrome is made available at least by the aerodrome ATS unit, by the Aerodrome Automatic Broadcasting Station or by the lighted wind direction indicator; and 
d) the lighted marking must be operational, according to the criteria established by ANAC.

NOTE 1:In case of inoperative aerodrome beacon, the night VFR operation may be maintained, after operational evaluation, provided that:
- aircraft do not fly predominantly with visual aids;
- visibility is not reduced constantly; and
- it is not difficult to locate the aerodrome, during the flight, due to excess of surrounding light or due to adverse topography in the region.

NOTE 2: At public aerodromes, the mentioned operational evaluation will be performed by the SISCEAB Regional Organization. In the case of private aerodromes, such operational evaluation will be performed by its owner, since the aerodrome operation is their full responsibility.

2.3. In order to perform a night VFR flight:

a) the pilot must have IFR flight certification;

b) the aircraft must be certified for IFR flight; and

c) the aircraft must have working VHF transceiver to establish bilateral communication with appropriate ATS units.

2.4. When entirely performed at ATZ, CTR or TMA, including projections of its lateral limits or, when there are not such airspaces, when performed within a radius of 50 km (27 NM) of the departure aerodrome, the requirements contained in 2.3 a) and 2.3 b) will not be applied to night VFR flight.

NOTE 1: in the case of night VFR entirely performed at adjacent ATZ, CTR and/or TMA, requirements 2.3 a) and 2.3 b) will not be applied.

NOTE 2: In case there is not another aerodrome within this airspace, which may be used as an alternate destination, the departure aerodrome can meet this objective. In the specific case of a departure aerodrome being the same destination aerodrome, the pilot must also consider another option, even being outside the airspace at stake, in the case of being impossible to use this destination aerodrome.
