Landing on CV at night

According to the 2010 Rulebook, on page 46 under the Advanced Rules for darkness "Air Return Phase: All fighters, Dive Bombers, and Torpedo Bombers returning to a Carrier or to your land airbase make a recovery check. To make a recovery check, roll a die. On a roll of 1, the unit is destroyed. Patrol Bombers don't need to make recovery checks."

There are no plane SA's that allow a unit to avoid this recovery check, but there is a Carrier SA (Night Operations) that states "Aircraft that return to this unit do not need to make recovery checks". To my knowledge this was only on the USS Independence for the Team Poseidon deck..

in short, you are correct.
