See Rep. Ed Markey's comments:

As far as the aviation rules are concerned, night time is dependent on
the position of the Sun, and not an arbitrary time value. If you're
talking about whether your flight will be considered legal or not, the
wall-clock time has nothing to do with it.


However, I believe the times for sunset are given in local time not GMT
and all those tables would have to be updated.
