Could it be

Altitude? It's important for flight,

It's an anagram for

"Latitude" which affects the length of the day ie. sunlight

Its abbreviation

"Alt" like alter or alt on a keyboard.

Not sure about this-

but perhaps Phi is a reference to Geopotential Height which is represented by the greek letter Phi. It could also be that in order to create the letter phi on the computer, you need to press ALT-232 (uppercase) or ALT-237 (lowercase).

Well, it's important for a flight to stop. If you don't believe me, listen to George Carlin :D

my anagram will affect your sunlight.

a spot? Maybe on glasses or on your eye, god forbid

My abbreviation is used to modify,

s.t. - "such that"

else you would not be able to write Phi.
