FAA Private Pilot Test Prep

Category - FAA Private Pilot

The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) specifically encourages pilots to turn on their landing lights when operating below 10,000 feet, day or night, and especially when
  1. operating in Class B airspace
  2. operating in areas of reduced visibility or 10 NM of an airport
  3. operating on days when heavy air traffic can be expected
  4. operating at night on the ground
Explanation
Correct answer: B. operating in areas of reduced visibility or 10 NM of an airport. Lights are required on the ground, but are not considered when operating under 10,000 feet. The aircraft must be in the air for this question. Don’t forget Class B space can be 30NM from the airport, so you may not be close to the airport when the lights will still be required to be on. Also, never forget that lights are just an aid; they can never take the place of keeping a sharp eye out for other traffic.
