>From my point of view, the main issue is: a KR does not fly hands-off. So, it will be a mission to fly straight-and-level while doing the nav at night. Now, I fully support your view. I am busy upgrading my KR for night flying, just in case... This way I will also be able to practice my night landings to keep my night rating current. And if one day I find myself confident enough, well, I will fly night cross-country flights. So far, with 100h flown in the KR, and 300h total, I feel I still need some practice.

I may find out different when I try it, but I think it is worth it just to not be illegal if I get delayed a little one day and can't land before the sun goes down.
