If you want IFR and night it will have to be certified to light aircraft standards not microlight standards.
Excited by the new LAA rules allowing IFR/night, when they first came in, I made a request to get my then yet-to be -built machine signed off for night flying. I didn't really want to go flying at night, more to have the facility to get me home if it got dark if I was late etc. You would think I had asked to have their first born burned at the stake.
Apparently it is not possible to differentiate the two regimes. It has to be IFR and night. It cannot be night only
All you pilots who fly VFR at night are blatantly wrong and very, very dangerous.
"Why do you need the IFR wing loading requirements to just fly VFR at night, where it is less bumpy than by day?" I enquired. Cue tumble weed for answers..........
What I found was an organisation that couldn't possibly use another, such as the EAA, as an example but had to invent their own 'correct' way of doing things. What would the EAA know of such things anyway? Far, far better to paint themselves into a corner of their own making, constrained by rules of their own making (IFR AND night, or nothing) and then castigate anyone who dares question their bizarre thinking.
It helped make the decision though. Aircraft became BMAA instead of LAA. LAA lost another member. Aircraft is still not night 'certified' but it costs me less to have it that way with the BMAA, rather than the LAA.
