Landing Light SOP
"kristoffer-m20j" wrote in message
When ever possible I try to follow the same SOP as the BIG BOYS. With
that being said what is the SOP for airliners when it comes to turning
on the landing light. Is it altitude based, distance etc...
The landing lights come on when we are cleared for take-off and are
extinguished ascending through 10,000 feet. They are turned on again when
descending through 10,000 feet, if we are at 250 KIAS or less, and are
extinguished when clearing the runway.
Also, (ON A SOAPBOX HERE), The taxi light is extinguished if we are facing
landing traffic as a courtesy. The taxi light is also extinguished when not
under movement or when being directed by a marshall for parking. The strobe
lights are NEVER illuminated while on the ground unless we are on the active
runway.
