Not because you will fly in darkness but to keep you legal if you are late, or somehow need to land after official daylight hours.
Only if your airfield has lights - and is open.
You may be correct but if I were inbound after official daylight to my unlicensed grass strip with no lights I could be legal whilst still airborne until I touch the ground? Am I now taxiing legally as the airfield is still open and unlicensed? And who cares?
