Sun & Night Times
When does night begin?
Sunrise, sunset and civil twilight for any Saudi aerodrome — plus the night-flying window of 1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise that drives night currency and night VFR.
A study aid. Times are computed for the aerodrome's coordinates in local Saudi time
(UTC+3), accurate to about a minute; for operations use the official almanac/AIP.
