@Peter if you don’t agree please delete this but I did understand that this thread is not just for accidents but also for those that could have been.
Plse @Peter do not delete it! It is a really useful experience. Thanks for posting.
I would say, however it is more for the ILAFFT thread than the Crash Talk thread. After all, there was no damage and the pilot demonstrated he knew how to keep himself distanced from such.
I particularly liked the fact that he elected to go to a familiar airfield for the night landing, rather than the closest, to improve his chances of success. After all and being dark as it was anyway, he had no immediately pressing need to be on the ground…
It’s fine – the section description says “Discussion related to specific accidents or incidents.”.
But, yes, ILAFFT is a better section.
I don’t delete good stuff. In fact I almost never delete anything 
While I know this guy was a student, situations like this are why I always stay current night and IFR. It simply removes sources of stress like these and increases your options in case of delay or unexpected weather.
