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).

The last line is rot13(Va beqre gb perngr gur yrggre cuv ba gur pbzchgre, lbh arrq gb cerff NYG-232 (hccrepnfr) be NYG-237 (ybjrepnfr).)

This is probably not correct, but it could be a
stop
I am important for flight,
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

Also probably not correct, but
Lifter
I am important for flight,
Lifters sound important to fly. Wonder if there is such a thing.

Filter
My abbreviation is used to modify,
the L you say?
else you would not be able to write Phi.
well a lowercase l could be the line in ϕ
