No that's not what I proposed. If scored soaring flight ends at sunset
the rule is no different for a flight with a sunrise launch than one
that starts 10 minutes before sunset.

Checking for that would make a lot of sense. The pilots I know
attempting records and long flights in wave make very sure they take off
after sunrise, so I'm sure they would approve.
