LastRifleRound Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Just a general question, but what is the use case for each of the type of external lights? In what circumstances are you supposed to use each kind (position/navigation, anti-collision, formation)? They all have redundant sounding names. Like anti-collision lights. Aren't they all anti-collision lights? I usually flip them all on no matter what then ignore them the whole flight, but I'd like to practice the actual procedures that would be used. Also, do you turn them all off when you fence in?
