Which light is used for taxi lighting during night operations?

The taxi light is specifically designed for illuminating the area in front of an aircraft during ground operations at night. It provides adequate visibility for pilots to navigate safely while taxiing to and from the runway. The intensity and positioning of the taxi light help reduce the risk of collisions and improve situational awareness in low-light conditions.

In contrast, other lights serve different purposes: the beacon light is primarily used to indicate the aircraft's presence to others, particularly in the air, while the landing light is intended for use during the approach and landing phases to enhance runway visibility. Strobe lights are also designed to increase the aircraft's visibility but are typically used during flight to alert other aircraft of its presence. Each of these lights has its specific function, making taxi lights the appropriate choice for ground operations during night flights.
