Calculation of night flying time

For a private pilot with no instrument rating it can be important if he wants to stay legal regarding the 90-day rule.

Two very different situations here:

• In the case of private privileges & recency, you won’t be flying far. Check the Almanac for night time at your departure & destination. Or in the case of the FAA, time of sunset (and add an hour).
• For those flying professionally - see above.

Good luck.
