    Flying at night

    What type of planes can’t fly at night? Why is this? I was thinking about getting a Cherokee 6 but I found out that some aircraft is only able to be flown during the day time. What are the defining factors that control this based off of regulation?

    Can you fly at night with a FO with night restrictions?

    So i have my class 3 medical so far, but I failed my color test and got a night time restriction and light gun restriction. I’ll see about removing those restrictions soon, but once I get my class 1 and i still have those restrictions, am I able to fly at night for an airline with a first officer?
