We digress from NOTAMS, but i’ll bite. My point was simply that the logic of lighting obstacles is somewhat nconsistent. If you don’t have the luxury of NVGs, most don’t, and someone has gone through great expense to put a light on top of a wind turbine which can only be seen on NVG... have they too been poorly trained? Or are they just being set up to fail? Why not just make them broad spectrum that can be seen in the near IR spectrum & visible light. Simples.
