Most of Bay Area is highly noise sensitive and additional restrictions
apply at night.
For example:
RHV - no touch-and-go after 9 PM
SQL - no touch-and-go when tower closed
HWD - rwy 10L/28R closed when tower closed
etc. -- read A/FD and NOTAMs carefully


Right now, "night" starts ~ 1730 local time in many areas.

Plenty of time to fly at night while everybody's still open!


that's correct. I was able to get in a few quick touch-taxi-go night
landings at SQL not too long ago right around 6:20pm. Also PAO allows
night take off and landings. Remember for night currency you have to
land, then taxi back then take off again. Touch and go's don't count
for currency.

The FARs only require that you do a full stop. If the runway is long
enough, you do NOT need to taxi back. When I was based at SJC the tower
would let me use 30L late at night. With almost 10,000', it was no problem
to do a full stop and go.
