Default Night flying times

In view of the fact that it gets real dark at some airports well before
official "night", do you think that the regulations regarding night
currency are adequate?

Do you think that someone who is not night current should be allowed to
carry passengers VFR into ASE 45 minutes after "sunset" the way it is
currently defined in the regulations?


What is legal isn't always safe. Pilots are called upon all the time to
excercise judgement. I think the night currency regulations give
sufficient hints to pilots that this is an area where judgement might be
called for.

PILOTS are the ones that ensure safe flights, not rules.
