Argentina's regulator has removed its ban on VFR night flying and will allow single‑pilot Part 135 commercial operations when the aircraft is fitted with an autopilot. The move opens legal nighttime operations for general and business aviation and broadens charter operating options.

Briefing
Removes a longstanding operational restriction — legal night VFR and single‑pilot Part 135 with autopilot expand where and when operators can fly, increasing utilization and route flexibility; this change complements Argentina’s recent open‑skies agreement that aims to stimulate traffic.
Represents regulatory liberalization that could boost demand for charter and business services and related equipment; it aligns with broader industry efforts calling for rules that enable, rather than constrain, commercial operations, such as stakeholders urging revisions to BVLOS/UAS integration rules.
Has immediate compliance and safety implications: operators must meet Part 135 standards, ensure certified autopilot installation and maintenance, and update training and operations manuals — matters that affect fleets, MRO providers and avionics suppliers.
