Answer 1

If you’re flying VFR at night you can use ground lighting like roads and cities to navigate.

If you’re flying IFR, it doesnt really matter because you’re looking at your instruments until you get close to the airport environment, which is very well lit.

The other option is night vision goggles if you’re a helicopter pilot.
