- Comment on Why do airplanes have big front "headlights"? 4 weeks ago:
Marker lights? You mean navigation lights, which are green and red lights. The port side of the aircraft has red lights, and starboard is green. This lets you know which side or direction the aircraft is facing. Boats and ships use the same logic. There is also a red flashing light at the bottom of the aircraft called the beacon, which is used to indicate to the ground crews that the engines are running.
The navigation and strobe lights help with being seen. So do the landing lights. It is why the FAA recommends that landing lights are turned on below 10k feet altitude. They aren’t required, but they are recommended so that the aircraft is easier seen at night as well as day. There is literally no other reason to use landing lights prior to turning final.
But due to the added safety of increasing your visibility, it is standard for all airlines to have it in their procedure to turn landing lights on as soon as 10k is crossed. Due to company SOP, pilots are therefore required to follow this procedure and it is purely for added safety. This is why you see all commercial aircraft do this, and why you may see non-commercial ignoring this recommendation.
This is coming from someone with years of commercial aviation experience so take it however you’d like.

So they can be seen by other aircraft.
FAA requires that your landing lights are on at all times when ever you’re below 10k feet altitude.

Let’s sign up for a tournament that has a dress code and then NOT follow the dress code. Then let’s complain that the tournament people are jerks because they didn’t let someone ignore the dress code.

- Comment on Accused killer of US insurance CEO pleads not guilty to 'terrorist' murder 5 weeks ago:
He’s not being tried for the same crime multiple times. What are you confused about?
He’s being tried on both state and federal charges. They are separate crimes. This isn’t double jeopardy.
- Comment on Accused killer of US insurance CEO pleads not guilty to 'terrorist' murder 5 weeks ago:
Double jeopardy means someone can’t be tried multiple times for the same crime. This has nothing to do with double jeopardy.
