Guten Morgen, Danke für das erklären. Das bringt Licht in die Sache😀

[rezamostafid]

Super, man merkt auch wie schnell das Wissen erodiert...z.B. die zwei Strobes am Heck...danke fuer das Auffrischen

[acent]

Thank you. A few questions on red/green lights on two aircraft facing and approaching each other:

1)
What if the angle is such, that you see both red and green lights?

2)
Does relative elevation matter?

3)
What if the appropriate course of action conflicts with ATC instructions? I assume if you are close enough to see lights, you have no time to discuss matters.

Thanks, great video. I always wondered about the Nav 1 & 2 lights, now I know.

Thanks, Emi - lots to learn here! As to any “debate” 5:06 on nav lights, these mirror exactly what was marine practice before aviation.

Airplanes weren’t that fast to start with, so early on - as dead reckoning & mag-compass were the only navigation options - these lights made a lot of sense. At 250+ knots, maybe less so…

I’m not a pilot, but was “licensed” to command boats under 50 ft. in 1982 - yes, that makes me a licensed old fart as well.

Navigating e.g. the busy Oslofjord by land-fixed beacons and vessels’ nav lights was a thing before GPS and dirt cheap small radar. I would still plan by using the “old” tools - but of course conveniently use the newer ones as primary…😅

Thank you for the vid. I knew some of this, but not all of it. Like these types of learning videos!

[somewaresim]

Thanks for the video. Was wondering when to use the strobe in auto mode since I thought you are required to use it when entering a runway, before you are in the air? Auto wouldn’t help in this case.

I always forget to turn on landing lights before takeoff lol

[Izmael]

Thank you. Very interesting :) knew 95% of these things but learned something new as well :)

[HammieNL]

Would love some more in depth about them. Ik know strobes need to be turned on when entering an active runway. But what lights do you turn on at what point as a real pilot

[Izmael]

Could you please create video about how to add FIX, Holding pattern in the Airbus MCDU? How to enter the holding pattern etc.? Thanks.

Which lights to switch on and in what sequence?

[Malloriak]

Hello! I have a question about usage of light on landing. Should we use nose gear TO light during landing? And what would happen if we turn it on with landing gears retracted. Would it shine in gear bay?

[LHA]

Du hast die logolights vergessen zu erklären 🤪

[MarkusRichter-nk]

I have seen in one video that a Pilot said, the landing lights can be extrcacted if you need some more drag (around 100 ft/min). Would this be a proper usecase for those lights as well?

[michaelchenal]

I've never seen a pilot checking for ice accumulation on the wing during flight in an A321, as he can't see wings from the cockpit, so I don't understand what is the purpose of wing lights except on ground.

Did you receive a preview copy of the ifly max aswell?

[davidduhme]

Hey, have you received a preview copy of the iFly 737 by any chance? 👀

Hi Emanuel, would you consider doing a tutoral for how to read METARs and TAFs?
I think it could be really useful - thanks!
