DAYLIGHT AND DARKNESS GRAPHS
“Night” is that period between the end of the evening civil twilight and the beginning
of the morning civil twilight.
To compute the beginning or end of daylight using the graphs contained in this
section:
• enter the top or bottom of the scale at the appropriate date;
• move vertically up or down to the curve for the latitude of the place concerned
(interpolating for intermediate latitudes if necessary);
• move horizontally to the left or to the right and read local mean time on the vertical
scale at the side;
• to convert to UTC, subtract (in E longitudes) from the LMT obtained, the time
increment corresponding to the longitude of the place concerned in the “Conversion
of Arc to Time” table.
• To convert to EST, add 10 hours to UTC;
• To convert to CST, add 9.5 hours to UTC;
• To convert to WST, add 8 hours to UTC.
Example: To determine the end of daylight at Echuca (S36 09.0 E144 46.0) on 20th
November. Using the graph, enter at 20th November at the top of the page
and follow downwards to latitude 36° (by interpolation), then horizontally
to the left and read off LMT = 1919. To convert to UTC, enter the
“Conversion of Arc to Time” table, at longitude 144° (9 hours 36 minutes).
Add the increment corresponding to 46’ in the right hand column
= 3’04’ + 0936 = 0939
Subtract this from the LMT found: 1919- 0939 = 0940UTC. To find EST
add 10 hours to UTC = 1940EST. Users of these graphs should note that the
parameters used in compiling the Daylight and Darkness Graphs do not
include the nature of the terrain surrounding a location, or the presence of
other than a cloudless sky and unlimited visibility at that location.
Consequently, the presence of cloud cover, poor visibility or high terrain
to the west of an aerodrome will cause daylight to end at a time earlier than
that extracted from the appropriate graph. Allowance should be made for
these factors when planning a flight having an ETA near the end of
daylight.
NAIPS automatically computes first light and last light. This information can be
provided through pilot access, as part of a telephone briefing, or from FLIGHTWATCH.

LOCAL TIME
Local Time in Australia falls into three separate zones:
• EST is used in the States of New South Wales (except the Broken Hill Area),
Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory.
• CST is used in the State of South Australia, the Northern Territory and the Broken
Hill area; and
• WST is used in the Sate of Western Australia.
However, certain States introduce local Summer Time each year between October of
that year and March of the succeeding year, which adds an additional hour to the local
time applicable in that State.
NOTAM or AIP Supplements will be issued detailing revised hours of operation for
those aeronautical facilities affected by local time changes during periods of States
Summer Time and which do not have such hours promulgated in AIP.
