HKCAD — Hong Kong
Civil Aviation Department. Verified Last confirmed against primary sources on 2026-07-28.
Governing rule. Air Navigation (Hong Kong) Order 1995, Article 22 “Personal flying log book”; CAD 54 for licensing and the logbook, CAD 371 for FTL and the night definition
Night
Thirty minutes after sunset until thirty minutes before sunrise — verbatim from CAD 371. (CAD 371 §7.16)
Command time
Designated command, with PICUS credited toward command. No licence number required on the countersignature. (CAD 54)
Cross-country
Not stated as a distance in the sourced material; the working reading is navigation-based. (under verification)
Column names differ
The page uses P1, P2 and P2X rather than the EASA labels — P2X being the cruise relief co-pilot. Instrument and night are recorded as “special conditions”. (CAD 54 §5.1.2)
Every rule above is read from the authority’s own legislation and recorded with the clause it came from. Where we have not confirmed something, the page says so. See all fourteen authorities and their verification state →
Questions
HKCAD — asked and answered
How does Hong Kong define night?
“The time between half an hour after sunset and half an hour before sunrise” — CAD 371 §7.16, the classic UK-derived Air Navigation Order wording. It is not civil twilight, so a record kept to EASA rules will show a different night total for the same sector.
What is P2X in a Hong Kong logbook?
The cruise relief co-pilot column. Hong Kong splits co-pilot time into P2 and P2X rather than folding both into a single co-pilot column, so a straight copy from an EASA page will not map cleanly.
