[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 106318, member: 18605"] I've tried to find solid information on whether U.S. hobbyists can fly after dark since the May, 2019 FCC rules revision. I see a lot of discussion dated prior to that time, but not much since. I know they require a light on the aircraft that is visible for at least 3 miles. AirMap.com says you can't, even with lights, but I see nothing stated on the FAA's website. Another website, [URL='https://jrupprechtlaw.com/recreational-drone-laws/']Rupprechtlaw.com[/URL] has extensive information about the revised drone laws issued May 31, 2019, but the only thing I see appears under the section "Text of Certificate of Authorization for Limited Recreational Purposes at Fixed Sites" which applies to "flying fields" where the FAA has issued authorization for an entity such as an RC Club and says "This Authorization and the Special Provisions shall be in effect between civil sunrise and civil sunset local time". Still, does not define legality of hobbyist flight in Class G airspace at night. What say ye learned members? [/QUOTE]
