How it works
-
1
Sun times per station
For every departure and arrival airport on every date, civil dawn, sunrise, sunset and civil dusk are calculated once and stored.
-
2
Minute by minute
Each flight is checked from block off to block on. A minute is night when the sun is below the chosen limit at the aircraft's position on the great-circle route.
-
3
Your file, back
Every row stays as it was. A Night time column (HH:MM) is added, blank when a flight had no night. With FAA rules you also get Day time, Night T/O and Night LDG (14 CFR 61.57) and your 90-day night currency. Arrival earlier than departure means landing the next day.

Good to know
Which definition of night should I use?
EASA (Reg. (EU) 965/2012 and Part-FCL) defines night as the period between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil twilight, with the centre of the sun 6° below the horizon. Some authorities and operators use sunset to sunrise, or sunset + 30 minutes. Pick the one your authority uses.
How do the FAA rules work?
Choose FAA above the night definition. Night time for your logbook follows 14 CFR 1.1: end of evening civil twilight to beginning of morning civil twilight, the same sun angle as EASA. You can also pick sunset to sunrise (14 CFR 91.209, position lights) or 1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise (14 CFR 61.57(b)). Whatever you pick, the file also gets Day time, and Night T/O and Night LDG marks for takeoffs and landings inside the 61.57(b) hour window. Block off and block on stand in for takeoff and landing, because the file has no other times. The result shows your night takeoffs and landings in the 90 days before your last flight, and whether you have the 3 of each that 61.57(b) asks for to carry passengers. Check that they were full-stop landings in the right category, class and type: a CSV can't tell.
Which files work?
Any logbook exported as CSV that has, for each flight, a date, the departure and arrival airports (IATA or ICAO codes) and the block off and on times in UTC. Column names don't need to match anything: From/To, Dep/Arr, Origin/Destination, Off/On, Out/In and many other spellings are recognised, and if the names are unfamiliar the columns are found from their content. The result shows which columns were used. Dates can be DD/MM/YYYY, DD.MM.YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD or like 10 Jan 2025; times like 19:05, 1905 or 19:05Z. Rows without flight time, such as simulator sessions, stay blank.

Do you keep my logbook?
No. Your file is processed in memory and never stored or logged. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
Is the result official?
No. The result is for information only: an estimate based on your file and on assumptions such as a great-circle route. It isn't a certified record and can't serve as or support an official document. You alone are responsible for how you use it, so check every figure against your own records and your authority's and operator's rules. See the Terms of Use.
