If an aircraft is not equipped for night flight and official sunset is 1730 EST, the latest a pilot may operate that aircraft without violating regulations is
A
1629 EST.
B
1729 EST.✓ Correct Answer
C
1829 EST.
Explanation
Position lights are required from sunset (91.209), and night VFR equipment (91.205(c)) applies at night, so an aircraft without them may be operated only until sunset. With sunset at 1730 EST, the latest time is 1729 EST.
