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. -- James H. Macklin ATP,CFI,A&P -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome. some support http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/secondamendment2.htm See http://www.fija.org/ more about your rights and duties.
