During my first night flight, I asked my instructor what to do if the engine failed. "Get the plane gliding in a controlled descent, attempt to restart the engine, and make a Mayday call," he explained. "The difference between day and night flying is that the terrain below will not be clearly visible, so turn on the landing light when you get close to the ground, and if you like what you see, land."
"All right, but what if I don't like what I see?" I asked.
"Turn off the landing light." he replied.
