I think FAR 91.209 (b) covers this - IF the plane is equipped with anticollision lights they must lighted (unless the PIC determines in the interest of safety they should be turned off). So a plane not even equipped with them is naturally not required to light them! |

... Peter Duniho wrote: Your strobes are required even in daytime. So a Cub with no electrical system, can't fly day vfr? No, and that's not what I said. Your reading comprehension is pitiful. I wrote "YOUR strobes are required even in daytime". Jay's airplane is equipped with strobes, and no rotating beacon (so they are his anti-collision lights). As such, they are required to be lit during all operations, including daytime. Pete |

Pete Newer twin-Cessnas have two switches, one labeled "anti-coll" that turns on the rotating beacon and one labeled "strobes" that .turns on the stobe lights. The strobes do not have to be turned on during day-vfr. I know you are referring to Jay's airplane not having a beacon must operate the strobes but others not reading the full thread (as I started out to do) may think that strobes are always required to be on if you have them.

om... Newer twin-Cessnas have two switches, one labeled "anti-coll" that turns on the rotating beacon and one labeled "strobes" that .turns on the stobe lights. The strobes do not have to be turned on during day-vfr. I've flown older Cessnas with the same configuration. There are LOTS of airplanes with both strobes and a rotating beacon, of all sorts of ages. So? The rule says that the anti-collision lights need to be on. If your strobes aren't your anti-collision lights, then obviously they aren't addressed by that regulation. This is basic stuff, should be covered in anyone's primary training. Blame your instructor if you're confused by this thread. I know you are referring to Jay's airplane not having a beacon must operate the strobes but others not reading the full thread (as I started out to do) may think that strobes are always required to be on if you have them. They would only think that if they didn't bother to know and understand the regulations. I never wrote that strobes are always required to be on, and no one should infer that from my post. I was very specific about what I wrote. Just a nit ![]() It's not a nit. It's just irrelevant. A "nit" would address some failure in what I wrote. Everything I wrote was true and correct. It was intended to address a very specific point, in a very specific context. Anyone trying to extrapolate that point to some unrelated context is making a mistake. Pete |
