Night VFR Cannes Video Impression

Here a small compilation of some night VFR flying during the 8th and 9th of October. Did some T&G’s while it was getting dark to get slowly the feeling for the dark again, a circle around St Tropez, and a low approach at Nice airport. Now that the days are becoming shorter we get the opportunity to NVFR again
Btw; in the Netherlands NVFR used to be approved only for training, since 01-01-2020 this restriction was removed.

Beautiful, thanks for sharing! It’s been many years since I last visited that area, still one of the most beautiful spots in Europe.

Great short video! Looking forward to flying at night again soon.

Thanks everyone!

No, but never thought about it actually. Just checked the manual of the GTN:

Altitude Voice Callout (VCO)
TAWS-A provides aural advisory alerts as the aircraft descends, beginning at
500 feet above the terrain, as determined by the radar altimeter (if greater than
5 NM from the nearest airport) or 500 feet above the nearest runway threshold
elevation (if less than 5 NM from the nearest airport). Upon descent to this
altitude, TAWS-A issues the aural alert message “Five-hundred”.
