I actually wrote a spreadsheet which calculates the length of the day.
I really track it in the winter, 'cause on workdays I leave home before
sunup and get home after dark... Modearately depressing and I always
look forward to more daylight.

I just go to the US Naval Observatory Web page.. input lat long and print
the resulting web page.. it is the SunRise SunSet schedule for the entire
year based on Lat Long
BT

I don't need no steekin' Naval Observatory. I've got my spreadsheet. Even
if the internet goes completely TU, I, and I alone will know sunrise,
sunset, and the length of any day of the year at my house.

Bwahahahaha...

Anyway, doing the math was good mental exercise.

Sunrise/sunset times are displayed on both the AvMap and Lowrance 2000c in
Atlas.

This feature may sound trivial, but it's a really nice feature when you find
yourself bucking a headwind on a long x-country, and you don't want to be
flying over unfamiliar territory in the dark...

OJ, here's a good question.

How much is the sunrise/sunset delayed per thousand feet of altitude?

Wouldn't it only be sunSET that is delayed by altitude?

I would think sunRISE would be advanced...?

Aye, Captain.

Dunno the answer, but it's always cool to see. Being up in the sun while
the lights are twinkling on, below, is one of the neatest things about a
sunset flight.

We do a lot of those on Valentine's Day, as part of our "Ultimate
Valentine's Day" package. (Well, we contract with our FBO to do the
flights, since we're not commercially rated...)

I have yet to see anyone not thrilled by the sight.

The other way.

Taxi out after sunset and roll with burners on and climb straight up
until you are back in sunlight.

One advantage of being a Fighter Jock. You can see two sunsets in one
day )

Dang, Big John. I hope you know that you have done things the rest of us
can only dream about....

Yeah, but if you can't even read a compass... :^)
