As I stated I accept that some a/c eg PA28 have a bad design. But it still doesn't excuse the otherwise poor use of strobes.

IO540, that's a reasonable idea, but so long as those who do that think of the effect on people on the apron who might be looking straight at the a/c and hence the strobes when you put them on. The point, as advised in some FAA circulars I've seen, is to be very careful in using strobes near people.

If this gets a few more people thinking, then it will have done some good. Including power against brakes!

Cheers and happy and safe flying
