Since tensions escalated between Taiwan and China, PLA aircraft have been disturbing Taiwan's airspace almost daily. Retired Major General and Taoyuan City Councilor Yu Beichen claimed that PLA aircraft only come during the daytime to avoid 'spatial disorientation' at night. However, former Air Force Deputy Commander Zhang Yanting refuted this, saying that PLA aircraft also come at night, but in fewer numbers due to environmental considerations. Zhang clarified that the loud noise of military aircraft taking off, around 100 decibels, and the limited night training activities, such as night navigation, also contribute to the reduced night flights.
