What is one of the definitions of night according to FAA regulations?

  1. 1 Hour After Sunset to 1 Hour After Sunrise

  2. Sunset to Sunrise

  3. Dusk to Dawn

  4. Midnight to Midnight

The correct answer is: Sunset to Sunrise

One of the definitions of night according to FAA regulations is the period from sunset to sunrise. This definition is important for pilots as it sets the parameters for when nighttime flight rules apply. During this time, pilots must adhere to specific regulations such as the need for specific lighting and equipment, as well as restrictions on the type of visual references and navigational aids used. Understanding this definition is crucial for proper planning and safety when flying at night. The other choices may refer to different contexts or interpretations of "night," but they do not align with the regulatory definition used by the FAA, which is straightforward and unambiguous in using sunset to sunrise as its guiding principle.
