Autobrake, I agree with you. Do not taxi around, lit up like a christmas tree if you do not have to. What I said was
" Taxi light (where fitted) should be used for taxiing, or if not fitted seperately, then landing light will suffice"
I will not taxi around at night, especially at unfamiliar airport, by braille!common sense SHOULD prevail here! I do not want to be hit....and I do not want to hit someone!
What will the insurance company say, when you tell them "LDG light is for landing !"
they will tell you that you are an imbecile, and that YOU will have to pay for damages!
"LDG light is for landing !"is like saying..."do not use the instruments when it is VFR"
Do not get me wrong, however. I agree with you that where taxi light is fitted, then this should be used when taxiing, and ldg lights should only be switched on when on an active runway!....if no taxi light fitted, why the hell not use landing lights???
Please do not misquote me again !
