Are solo flights allowed after midnight?

Solo flight for a student is limited to daylight hours. Night flying introduces additional hazards and requires specific training plus an endorsement from a flight instructor to allow solo operation at night. Midnight is considered night, so without the proper night solo endorsement, a student may not fly solo after midnight. The other options don’t fit because being with an instructor on board would make it not solo, IFR rules aren’t the gating factor for this scenario, and night solo is not automatically allowed without the required endorsement.
