Another tempting thing for pilots to do is fly at night. Again, it's not allowed, unless you have a COA or COW to do so. Today we welcome Tom Kilpatrick to the show to talk about how you can go about getting this clearance. Here's a link to the video they discuss in this episode: https://vimeo.com/184992238?ref=em-share. Thanks for joining us, and fly safe!
