Well...
It appears the OP has dropped out of his own thread. That's okay, I think we can wrap it up with what we have from his three short posts.
Given his third post, it seems the OP has never heard of Part 101, so I think it's safe to assume he's not following a nationwide CBO's safety guidelines. So, since he's not following a nationwide CBO's safety guidelines, his aircraft would not qualify for the Special Rule of Sec 336. Which means he'd have to fly under Part 107. And the rules for night flying and civil twilight under Part 107 is nicely explained in Post #4.
Unfortunately, it doesn't matter - he wouldn't be able to fly at night or day - because the OP almost certainly hasn't passed his certification for Part 107, nor has his aircraft been registered under Part 107. If he flew anyway, he'd be a Part 107 violator.
The good news for him is, he can easily resolve this by simply reading and adhering to a nationwide CBO's safety guidelines as required under Sec 336 / Part 101. Once he did that, and assuming he didn't violate anything else as described in the section, his aircraft flight would qualify under Sec 336. And since there are no night-flying restrictions under Sec 336 or Part 101, all that would be left (other than his Sec 336 / Part 101 pilot registration with FAA and the marking of his aircraft) is to be sure there's nothing in his CBO's safety guidelines restricting or governing night flights.
So assuming he chose to fly under AMA's safety guidelines, he would study AMA's safety code and safety handbook and learn that flying at night is permitted within the allowances described on page 8 of the handbook.

Hence, he could then happily fly his Phantom all night long - no anti-collision lights required.
Hope this helps... somebody. |
