Narrative:
Returning to bet calling bet radio for advisory, they said WX was to be low VFR minimums and I would need a SVFR clearance before entering control zone, so I stopped out of the zone until I received my clearance. I entered the zone direct toward the airport and landed when I saw the runway, ending the flight. I had an INS competency check within 6 months and the aircraft is IFR equipped, as required in 91.205, but was not current. The next time that I fly at night I'll make sure the best I can that the airport will be at least VFR, and if not, consider cancelling the flight and/or making sure aircraft is IFR current.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: ATX SMA WAS OPERATED USING SVFR CLRNC, BUT ACFT WAS NOT CURRENT FOR THIS OPERATION.
Narrative: RETURNING TO BET CALLING BET RADIO FOR ADVISORY, THEY SAID WX WAS TO BE LOW VFR MINIMUMS AND I WOULD NEED A SVFR CLRNC BEFORE ENTERING CTL ZONE, SO I STOPPED OUT OF THE ZONE UNTIL I RECEIVED MY CLRNC. I ENTERED THE ZONE DIRECT TOWARD THE ARPT AND LANDED WHEN I SAW THE RWY, ENDING THE FLT. I HAD AN INS COMPETENCY CHK WITHIN 6 MONTHS AND THE ACFT IS IFR EQUIPPED, AS REQUIRED IN 91.205, BUT WAS NOT CURRENT. THE NEXT TIME THAT I FLY AT NIGHT I'LL MAKE SURE THE BEST I CAN THAT THE ARPT WILL BE AT LEAST VFR, AND IF NOT, CONSIDER CANCELLING THE FLT AND/OR MAKING SURE ACFT IS IFR CURRENT.
