Howdy all, new guy here. Not too many message boards with this level of interaction out there for intruction and instructors, and this one looks pretty active so here goes...
Mountain flying night VFR.
I know a guy who is working on his commercial. His instructor took him on a night cross country in mountainous terrain using gps points that were uncharted points. These points coincided with what would be a vfr corrider that allowed for safe travel through the pass. By reported first hand accounts, the weather was very good with minimal wind. The real reason for the trip was that the cfi needed to be someplace across the mountains the next morning.
Is it normal and generally accepted practice to fly night vfr single engine in mountainous terrain using gps points in a training situation?
Thanks in advance.
