Legal as long as you have the correct lights.
That is what I am hearing. But I actually want to read it.

Thank you. I will send a question.@msinger
Probably has that information
Exactly. Why would you want to fly your expensive drone under the influence of anything? This is why I will never do alcohol or drugs. I don't want to wake up in the morning and find out I crashed my Jeep, Phantom 4, chucked my MacBook Pro in the river, and dropped my DSLR the night before. One night of fun isn't worth $15000+
Just my $0.02
I did not see anything that said a recreation flyer could fly at night.
Could someone point me in the right direction so I can actually read that a recreational pilot can fly after civil daylight hours.
I was being to find out that reading between the lines was the answer....and I can see the logic. If it is not prohibited then it's allowed.If it's not prohibited, then it's allowed. For hobby flying at night, rules come from the CBO rules, which for the AMA state:
"Night flying requires a lighting system that provides the pilot with a clear view of the model’s attitude and orientation at all times. Hand-held illumination systems by themselves are inadequate for night flying operations and must be supplemented with other lighting systems. "
See: https://www.modelaircraft.org/sites/default/files/100.pdf
That's the good thing about me spending all my money on camera, car, and mountain bike stuff. No money left for alcohol! Having expensive hobbies has hidden benefits!One smart individual....me too!
Go to the 22 minute mark.Thank you. I will send a question.
I know so many people around my area that would love verification on this.

Yip you can flight night,strobe up and away,the air is so much clearer and clean (well here anyway), good time like early morning,less people and aircraft can be seen further away due to their super strobes,I prefer almost better than the day,lol this pic below was my first p4.had 2 sets of phantom headlight sets and on side had lumb cube holders with pen light torch on each side,p4 never minded the extra weight including battery's, looked awsome in flight,,only downfall was coming into land.blinded can't see,oh that scary,,so had to come in on angle so I could see...now days I just use strobes,oh this pic makes me laugh now,,what was I thinking or drinkingView attachment 112511
You didn’t watch the video?You can fly with the right lighting on your drone and a waiver.
Why would he need a waiver?You can fly with the right lighting on your drone and a waiver.
Please follow the thread before posting.If he is flying under Part 107, a waiver is needed for commercial flying (business). If he is flying under 389 recreation, he just have the correct lighting on his drone.
Hello all.
I was unaware a recreational flyer could fly at night.
So I downloaded the 2018 Reauthorization.
I read several sections within specifically section 349.
I did not see anything that said a recreation flyer could fly at night.
Could someone point me in the right direction so I can actually read that a recreational pilot can fly after civil daylight hours.
Thanks in advance.
I will also continue reading.
