In taxi through pits without refueling lighting configuration, which lights must be ON?

• A. Anti-collision: ON
• B. Landing light and/or taxi light: ON
• C. Position: ON
• D. Searchlight: ON

Answer: (B)

When taxiing, the priority is to illuminate the path and stay visible to ground crews and other traffic. The lighting that satisfies this for taxi operations is the landing light and/or taxi light. The landing light helps illuminate the area in front of the helicopter, while the taxi light is specifically aimed to light the taxiway and ramp area. This combination provides necessary visibility on the ground during taxi in pit areas without refueling. Anti-collision lights are important, but they’re not the ground-taxi requirement in this scenario, position lights are typically required for night or reduced visibility, and a searchlight isn’t used for normal taxi. So the correct practice is to have the landing light and/or taxi light ON.
