In this episode you will learn:

- The specific definition of civil twilight for Part 107 operations, which is the 30-minute window before sunrise and after sunset.

- The mandatory anti-collision lighting requirement for both civil twilight and night flights must be visible for at least 3 statute miles.

- Official sources like the Air Almanac or NOAA must be used to determine local sunrise and sunset times, not generic weather apps.

- The unique rule for Alaska, where civil twilight times are determined by the Air Almanac, not the standard 30-minute rule.

- A common exam trap is confusing the definitions and requirements of civil twilight versus full nighttime operations.
