General ops lighting configurations describe which of the following?

• A. Anti-collision: ON (start to shutdown); position: not required
• B. Anti-collision: ON; position: ON
• C. Anti-collision: OFF; position: not required
• D. Anti-collision: OFF; position: required

Answer: (A)

General ops lighting emphasizes staying conspicuous to other traffic. Anti-collision lights must be on from engine start through shutdown to keep the aircraft visible during all phases of flight and on the ground. Position (navigation) lights aren’t required for general operations unless you’re operating at night or under some other condition that mandates them. So, keeping anti-collision lights on for the entire operation while not requiring position lights fits the standard for general ops.
