Chapter 1: Daylight Operations

14 CFR Part 107 prohibits operation of an small UAS at right, defined in 14 CFR Part 1 as the
time between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil twilight, as
published in the Federal Air Almanac and converted to local time. The Federal Air Almanac
provides tables to determine sunrise and sunset at various latitudes, For example:
✓ In the contiguous United States, evening civil twilight is the period from sunset until 30
minutes after sunset and morning civil twilight is the period of 30 minutes prior to sunrise
until sunrise.
✓ In Alaska, the definition of civil twilight differs and is described in the Federal Air
Almanac.

When sUAS operations are conducted during civil twilight, the sUAS must be equipped with anti-
collision lights that are capable of being visible for at least 3 statue miles. However, the remote
PIC may reduce the intensity of the lighting if he or she has determined that it would be in the
interest of operational safety to do so. For example, the remote PIC may momentarily reduce the
lighting intensity if it impacts his or her night vision.
