"Greg Goodknight" wrote in message hlink.net... 6 degrees, at the equator, is 24 minutes, do the math (remember, 360 degrees in 24 hours) but that's at the equator. No math required, read the regulation. When Grass Valley (O17) had a night closure a few years ago over a trees and obstruction light snafu, SVFR is not available at O17. I pressed the issue with the local FSDO; they came back with 30 minutes being the rule of thumb they use in the 48 states. The US has fifty states. It's not a "rule of thumb", it's a regulation. The regulation clearly states that fixed-wing Special VFR operations may only be conducted between sunrise and sunset (or in Alaska, when the sun is 6 degrees or more below the horizon) unless the pilot and airplane are capable of IFR flight.
