What's wrong with saying "as published in the American Air Almanac"?


1. The American Air Almanac is out of print. It is not available on
amazon.com although it may be available elsewhere. However, it has
certainly not been updated in recent years.

2. If the purpose of night flying regulations is to require the currency
of special skills when it is "dark", then the times should be adjusted to
reflect local topography. For example, ridges and mountains may cause
darkness to be present earlier than the official sunset time.
