Default N1 lands in BED:

Flashing landing lights is an anti-collision development.
The bulb is cycled from about 20-100% intensity. This
increases bulb life and the eye sees a flashing light better
than a steady light.
They have these on motorcycles too. They even have a unit
that will flash the brakelight when they are applied
steadily.

| These days law enforcement vehicles are wall to wall
flashing lights so
| traffic sees them to yield or idiot drivers don't run into
them when
| they are stopped by the side of the road. It might be as
simple as if it
| is good enough for an automobile, it is good enough for an
airplane.

| Yeah, I saw it, too, but did you notice that landing
lights was
| flashing like a siren after touchdwon? I don't see any
point for doing
| that. Is it designed to chase someone in the air and
force them to
| pull over???
