Landing Light SOP

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

There are many pilots with many different operating practices. Here is
mine:

1a) Landing & Taxi lights:
Leave the Landing Light off until calling ready for departure to the
Tower. (nighttime only)

1b) Landing lights only:
Use the lights anytime (at night) on the ground

2) Leave them on until I land. It's promotes visibility of my plane,
even if a minute amount. I do this during day or night flights. On a
LONG x-c, in relatively unpopulated space, I might consider turning off
the light.

My preference would be to get a flasher for the landing lights so I can
have the best of both worlds--longer bulb life and enhanced visibility
to others.

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...
