Hello group.
Is there a regualtion/description detailing how/where Nav/Strobe/
Position lights get mounted on the wing tip?
I have Aeroflash lights and am ready to cut my fiberglass wing tip to
mount them but am wondering if there are specific recommendations
other than they should be seen from 360 degrees.
I believe that the nav lights are only supposed to be seen from 180 degrees
or so. At night, you should be able to determine the relative direction of an
observed plane by the pattern of lights. Certainly there is a regulation
somewhere, but if you just take a walk around the parking area at your local
small airport, you will get the idea of where they go.
