However, as will have been discovered during the initial introduction to night flying, the nighttime adds some additional challenges.  \nFor a flight to count as a cross country, for the purposes of the required aeronautical experience fora private pilot certificate, the straight-line distance between takeoff and landing must be greater than 50nm. Anything less will not count as a cross country flight.  \nCross country planning will be the same, but with an understanding that the checkpoints one can see are significantly reduced. A much greater dependence upon lighted artifacts on the ground will be required. If airport beacons are a part of the picture with respect to ground references, NOTAMs should be consulted to insure the facility will be in service.
