Which option describes the KNDZ OPS with civilian airports lighting configuration?

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

Answer: (A)

In this scenario, you adjust the aircraft’s lighting to align with civilian airport operations: the anti-collision lights should be ON to maximize visibility to other aircraft, while the position (navigation) lights should be set according to what the airport’s lighting configuration requires. Anti-collision lights on during flight help maintain conspicuity in busy airspace, which is essential near airports. Navigation lights aren’t always needed; they should be used as required by the situation or the airport’s rules, not automatically left ON. Turning anti-collision lights OFF would reduce visibility and safety in the environment. Keeping navigation lights ON at all times, regardless of need, could conflict with the specific civilian-airport configuration. Claiming navigation lights aren’t required ignores typical operating rules near civilian airports, where lights are used per regulatory or local guidance.
