Completely off-topic help needed :)

It's a different thing in the summer - it does not
get dark at all (even in the middle of night). The
local authorities do not accept a night flight as
night time for the time between first of May and
last of August.

Wow... I had never thought of that before - an entire country of pilots
who are not night current as of July 31 every year. (at least by
the FAA rules)

Obviously, there are pilots in the authorities, as well.
It's not so difficult - you do not need the currency. Maybe
we had something to explain to the FAA if they were here.

The same phenomenon applies to all the Nordic countries
(or at least Iceland, Norway and Sweden).

There is the balance, of course. In the far North of the
country, the Sun stays below the horizon for months in
the middle of the winter.

For reference, currently we have daylight roughly from 8 am
till 4 pm.
