Despite the Pitch Black Darkness.. How Do Airplanes Fly at Night?

- Have you ever wondered how airplanes fly in complete darkness? (Watch the video above) The ground may be invisible to the pilot due to limited lighting at night, but he can still accurately know his location. This is thanks to what is known as "Instrument Flight Rules," according to Abdulaziz Al-Shaheel, a Kuwaiti pilot, in an interview with Ofoq News in Arabic.

In general, this type of flying relies on reading the aircraft's instruments, along with using navigation devices and the Global Positioning System (GPS). The pilot also remains in constant communication with the control tower, which monitors the entire flight's movement.
