Jon, I'm in the UK so only a passing interest in the US laws.Is as simple as this... In the US, if you fly at night, you are breaking the law as it stands now and risk a fine or other legal recourse. Is that too stringent? Ok, perhaps, but it is the law and disregarding it won't forward the rights of UAV pilots.

From what I have read here some say there is no law...yet. Some like you say it is breaking the law. Is there a straight answer to this? Just curious.
If it is against the law in the US to fly at night, my 1st question (to the thread) is why so many appear to fly by their rules. To me it sounds a bit like 'I'll drive on the right hand side of the road because there are no cars coming the other way'
2nd question is to the moderators here...if it is unlawful why does the forum allow such 'night' posts without getting involved, in the interests of promoting safe flight and condemning the unlawful. If it's not illegal then the Q doesn't matter of course.
I'm not trying to start a flame war but just trying to get an understanding of it all on your side of the pond.
The FAA does not have a regulation in place that says flying a UAV at night is unlawful. They have only advised or recommend pilots not fly at night but cannot take any enforcement action unless reckless endangerment is evident. I have yet to be presented with the code section and/or regulation that explicitly outlaws this activity.From what I have read here some say there is no law...yet.

You now also have your answer to your second questionSo there we seem to have it then. Flying at night explicitly is not against a law.
Glad we cleared that one up!
I suppose they could get someone on what I think you call reckless endangerment if the situation deemed.
Why do some here say there are laws when there isn't any? I would have thought with all these experienced pilots that they would know.
Ah well, a little less confused now
