Yep your right PT ,
Night flying does not require an IFR rating as far as it goes however if your entering a class B airspace you do need an IFR rating not to mention a TRANSPONDER..........

wife used to say I had more money in electronics than the airplane.....

Remove the engines and electronics and the airplane is about worth the price of scrap aluminum.

Don't know if this is a simulation or not, but I have used this approach many times when traffic is busy. Of course that was a few years ago.

Hello Fumar. Actually, you don't need an Instrument rating to enter a class B airspace. You do need a mode C transponder and you do need to contact approach before entering the class B. A VFR flight can be vectored through a class B by the tracon controller but only if they don't have a heavy workload at that time. The controller has the option of turning VFR flights away or "working" them through the class B work load permitting.
