What counts as night in North Dakota?

Your state's guidance doesn't give exact night hours, so Permy counts night from sunset to sunrise.
Which pathway applies?
This state has more than one set of requirements. Which one applies depends on the learner.
- Under 16: 50 total. Under-16 practice must include rural, urban, gravel/dirt/aggregate, night and winter conditions. No numeric night quota is specified; 0 night target does not waive night practice. Permy does not certify all variable-condition categories.
