What should be done regarding the use of aircraft lights during night operations?

The correct approach for using aircraft lights during night operations is to properly use them according to established guidelines. This ensures visibility for both the pilot and other aircraft, enhancing safety during operations.

Different types of lights serve specific purposes: navigation lights indicate an aircraft's position and direction to others, landing lights help illuminate the runway during takeoff and landing, and strobe lights enhance visibility to other pilots. Proper usage involves knowing when to turn on or off specific lights based on flight phases and situations, such as using landing lights during approach and landing, while keeping strobe and navigation lights activated as required.

Using lights incorrectly can lead to confusion for both the pilot and other airspace users. Perfect adherence to guidelines promotes safer night flying conditions and aids in maintaining situational awareness for all involved.
