Is there an FAR part 91 rule that prohibits a pilot from taking off from a runway at night with no runway edge lights ? Also, does the Catalina Conservancy have the authority to “close” this airport ? Just trying to differentiate what is “legal” and what is “Safe”. A side note to consider is if you as a pilot or passenger are stranded there after dusk, is there available transportation to take you to Avalon so that you can spend the night in a room vs. spending the night in an airplane ? If not, then you can see the motivation to depart even after “dark”.
