F14B Landing Lights

[BitLeg]

Hello I am helping you can guide me with this query. It's regarding the F14B landing lights. What lights, specifically, should be used when landing and which lights should be used when taking off. Any ideas?

Quick & simple answer before a real expert jumps in here:

 

Landing ashore - I guess normal Navigation lights plus nose wheel Landing Light

 

On ship, (and I've only been on US Carriers for Hornet/Rhino/Prowler ops) it is just the Nav lights. (The landing light is not required, too bright for the LSOs and would NOT allow the LSOs to see the Red/Amber/Green "on speed" lights that are set into the nose wheel leg.

Slime (formation lights) can be left on or off.

 

Here's a 2018 vid - look at the light configuration for landing and note NO lights for taxing around on deck.

 

By the way, (if I remember correctly) the Nav lights ONLY get switched on AFTER aircraft is hooked onto the cat and is the equivalent of giving the salute for take off.

I think anticollision lights should be on right with the engines, like its a warning light that engines are running

Not on the Carrier though. Any Lights on deck, day or night tells the deck crew (because we have no comms with the aircrew) that you have no brakes/loss of hydraulic pressure.
