Runway lights shimmer in the windshield, and the horizon fades into black. Suddenly, the cockpit starts to feel smaller. You pause for a moment and think. Are you legal and ready to fly into the dark?

Night flying opens you to a new kind of freedom that daylight can’t offer. It lets you beat weather, traffic, and tight schedules.

Excited to get on that night flight? Hold on just one second. As we walk towards the cockpit, let’s recall the rules, the physiology, the planning, and the real-world habits that make night flying both legal and actually fun!

Key Takeaways

  • Night is the time between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil twilight.
  • To carry passengers at night, you must have made three takeoffs and landings in the past 90 days.
  • Night illusions happen because limited visual cues can mislead your judgment.
  • Stay proficient with regular night flights and scenario-based practice with an instructor.
  • Night Defined: The FAA’s Three Clocks

    1. Sunset → Sunrise (Lights)

    First up, let’s talk about the lights you need to switch on. The moment the sun sets and until it rises again, the rule under 14 CFR 91.209 takes effect.

    It says that unless your aircraft has its position lights on, you can’t operate during that period.You should also turn on your anticollision lights unless you think keeping them off would be safer.

    What if you’re flying with a special VFR clearance at night? Then those same rules also apply to you.

    2. End of Evening Civil Twilight → Beginning of Morning Civil Twilight (Logging)

    Can your flight be logged under night flying? How can you be sure? Let’s take a look at 14 CFR 1.1. It says:

    Night means the time between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil twilight, as published in the Air Almanac, converted to local time.

    That means “civil twilight” depends on the sun’s position. Evening civil twilight ends (and morning civil twilight begins) when the geometric center of the sun is 6° below the horizon.
