My Landing lights are always on in my Bonanza when within say 5nm of the desto/departure point, or anytime that seems to warrant it from a good airmanship pov...like transiting Southport MBZ.
In a jet we always have the landing lights on below 10000'...only 3-4 minutes even when departing.
What I find a little irksome is the idea that to prop up our disfunctional new system we are now expected to have landing lights on essentially all the time.
Could it be that See and Avoid is not all it's cracked up to be.
And if two aircraft come together with lights blazing I suppose they'll recommend I paint my aircraft dayglo orange next
