Visual Flight Rules Recital 97. ‘night’ means the hours between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil twilight. Civil twilight ends in the evening when the centre of the sun’s disc is 6 degrees below the horizon and begins in the morning when the centre of the sun’s disc is 6 degrees below the horizon; http://www.sonnenaufgang-sonnenuntergang.de German Air Law proposal - LuftVO § 2 Units and Time (3) Nightisthe time span 30 minutes after sunsetuntil 30 minutespriortosunrise..

Flightplan • Standard SERA rules apply • Germany still does not require any Flight Plan or prior permission of unscheduled VFR traffic • Your national entry and exit obligations for your home country must be observed when travelling in and out of Germany
