Night Currency Windows

A concise explanation of sunset, civil twilight, and the one-hour night passenger currency window pilots actually need to plan around.

Answer: Use the exact boundary that matches the task. If the goal is passenger-carrying night currency, show the one-hour rule directly. If the goal is loggable night, show civil twilight. Precision matters more than shorthand.
