A lot easier for "see and avoid" at night then during the day. We have a CFI that turns his volume down and forgets to restore it. He Has been in opposite traffice twice with me and has also pulled out in front from the hold short line when I was I was 100 yds from flaring. Had eyes out and I ALWAYS watch the hold short AC closely during approach.
Night Flight: Had a FED EX jet abort his takeoff at the Class C and request return to ramp (he didn't). On my landing, I glance left into the darkest area of the airport and see the outline of the Fed Ex on the taxiway during stop-n-go (no lights or beacon). Only had a second to react, but was pretty sure he probably had engine revving ... and he did ... quite the ride even with control inputs to fight it already set.
Night Flight2: Lost an alternator (disintegrated) 10 out from the field and called "AC in distress, smoke in cockpit" on CTAF to the two CBP helos practicing over the threshold. Battery blew out right after the transmission. Helos didn't budge, wind too high for opposite direction landing. Had to modify approach around them.
What you would LIKE to happen in the airport environement and what will actually happen are two different things. Be prepared and you'll be fine.
