SOLO lighting configuration?

SOLO lighting configuration?

• A. Anti-collision: ON; position ON
• B. Anti-collision: ON; position as req
• C. Anti-collision: OFF; position ON
• D. Anti-collision: ON; position not required

Answer: (D)

The key idea is knowing which lights are required in flight and when. Anti-collision lights are meant to make the aircraft more visible to other traffic and are required anytime the aircraft is in flight. Position (navigation) lights are only required when it’s dark or when operating under conditions where visibility is limited (generally from sunset to sunrise or at night). For daytime solo flight, you typically need the anti-collision lights on, but the position lights aren’t required. That’s why the best choice is anti-collision ON and position not required. If you were flying at night or in reduced visibility, you would turn the position lights on.
