§ 23.1385 Position light system installation. (a) General. Each part of each position light system must meet the applicable requirements of this section and each system as a whole must meet the requirements of §§ 23.1387 through 23.1397. (b) Left and right position lights. Left and right...

I had found the reg of the use of anti collision lights in part 91. In my training I never learned about the part 23 regs. I didn't want to consume to much time. As far as checking out the forum, only takes a few seconds, so it is easy as pie to look and see if someone has responded...

I wonder if the flight school knows this?

That is not what I was implying at all. I was speaking of planes that do have the beacons and the rear position light as opposed to those that do not.

Thank you for that. I will probably go up to FDK sometime, and see if they can hit me with some light gun practice.

I am at work, so has been difficult finding the reg on this

Damnit! Then I am just going to have to be vigilant as to whether any other aircraft are on final when I land. Or shoot for the grass, or off airport if necessary.

If something is smoking, I am making an emergency descent, and getting on the ground right away. If I am in the vicinity of the towered airport, 7700, land.

My $.02. If your making a good income, and you have a family. Go for your CFI, and do it as a part time job. It will be something you can do as well after you retire. Years ago I went to Colorado State and joined Air Force ROTC hoping to get the backing to fly. They wanted me to jump from...

If the white light at the rear is considered a position light, is it an optional Position Light, or required?

The question in the book states landing at the towered airport. I agree that I would not just show up to the Towered airport unless it was my only option.

Good knowledge.

The LSA I fly in only has 1 radio. I thought about looking for the transmit light. However, does that verify that I actually transmitted something out of the Aircraft? How far away can you actually view the light gun? If I were operating outside a Delta Airspace. I believed that I was...

Thank you. I imagine then the beacons or any other additional lighting, is just an added safety to the anti collision lighting system.

Thank you for the answer to the first. The second, still need input. If the plane only has strobes and position lights, will the strobes fulfill the requirement for red or white anti collision lights?

When going through the ASA Private Pilot Oral Book I came up with a couple of questions: 1) It gives three different communication issues, and how you would handle them when entering to a towered airport. It has three scenarios. a) Receiver failure, transmitter works. b)Transmitter failure...

I am on the east, and never asked for ID when purchasing ammo.

I as a civilian, thought it was two to the chest one to the head?

These are fun, but don't use them for self defense. You just know the "anti" people will find some way to convict you because of the name on your ammo. On the other hand, I believe these will become a collectors item in the future. I recommend buying some boxes.
