What is needed to operate a LSA aircraft at night?
When I started flying the C-162 at night, the first thing I found was weird is the lack of a white tail-light. Tail lights are required on "regular"/non-LSA planes, but somehow not required on LSAs. I don't get why an LSA is allowed to be less visible than bigger planes. :)

Should depressurization be considered in the event of an inflight cabin fire?
I disagree that fire is the biggest enemy for aircraft. A quick web search shows that its been more than 30 years since a major fire in the air. Even for small planes (which usually don't fly pressurized), the leading danger is fuel starvation, not fire.

If there is a misprint on an instrument plate, is a pilot required to comply with it?
@Pondlife: Rules of Grammar (not avaiation) mandate that commas separate subordinate phrases. Without the comma, the text has too many "circlings". It should read: "Rwy 36 Straight-in and Circling, and Circling to Rwy 18, NA at night."

The other obvious mistake on the plate is in the text: "Rwy 36 Straight-in and Circling and Circling...." (how many times are you supposed to circle?)
