How do pilots see at night during flight?

Answer 1

There are different levels of pilot.

One of the first levels only lets you fly in the daytime with good wether.

The next level lets you fly using all the dials and buttons in the cockpit, called “instrument” flight… because they mostly use the instruments and only look out the window for visual confirmation & landing.

The plane has a special radio that contacts the airport to turn on the runway lights as tgey approach to land. The lights trigger in a sequence that kind of points the pilot to the right path.

The lights blink in sequence on either side of the runway, called “chasing the rabbit”
