Why the sun does not set everywhere at once

At the easternmost airfield on the map, Stettin-Goleniów, the sun sets today at 18:32; at the westernmost, Geilenkirchen, not until 19:09. That is 37 minutes apart: for every degree of longitude further west, the sun sets four minutes later.

When does night begin in aviation?

Under the European rules of the air (SERA), night is the time between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil twilight. So night does not start at sunset but 30 to 50 minutes later, depending on the season. Flying VFR after that requires a night rating.

Civil twilight ends when the centre of the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon. Until then it is light enough outdoors to see without artificial light. Nautical twilight runs to 12 degrees and astronomical twilight to 18; aviation only uses civil twilight.

The times are calculated for the airfield's coordinates and a sea-level horizon and are accurate to about a minute. The binding tables are in the AIP, section GEN 2.7.
