If a pilot does not meet the recency of experience requirements for night flight and official sunset is 1900 CST, when is the latest time passengers can be carried?

The latest time passengers can be carried, if a pilot does not meet the recency of experience requirements for night flight, is just before official sunset. Official sunset is defined as the time when the sun dips below the horizon, marking the end of daylight and the beginning of night conditions. In this case, the official sunset is at 1900 CST.

Since the pilot does not have the required recency of experience for night flying, they must avoid carrying passengers after sunset. Therefore, the latest permissible time to carry passengers would be just before sunset, which aligns with 1959 CST, allowing for a safe and compliant operation that adheres to regulations concerning passenger transport during night flight conditions.
