Every night from around 11:00 PM to 6:00. But, departures are to the west unless wind limits dictate departing to the east, which was the case the early morning when EVA departed.

If I were flying today, I would always have the EGPWS up on any departure. Shame on the crews who do not do that. And, shame on those crews who do not exercise command authority on a timely basis.
