Set the aircraft up for 200' descent on the VSI and just try and not let it land.

Night flying is cool but if it ever gets "quiet" you need to have it clear in your mind on do I go for the road and wires - or dark spots which might be water... I live in Fla. Alligators are a factor in that thought...

I tend to fly high at night SEL and always flight following....
