Narrative:
I had the pilot not flying select the tower frequency which was loaded in the #2 radio; and [to] click the microphone to turn the lights back on. He didn't know how I knew how to do that. In reflection; I thought that perhaps it would be a good training lesson for others that don't have much GA flying experience. I think a distance learning lesson reviewing communication procedures and lighting control at uncontrolled airfields might be beneficial to us all. We don't see it very often and it's something we are seeing more as we expand our services to smaller airports. In the interest of identifying a possible hazard to our sms system; I just wanted to bring this to light. I know others would benefit from learning from this event. In our case; my prior experience allowed me to anticipate it and have a plan. I hope we can pass this along and prepare others for the same situation or maybe introduce it.
