luckykathryn,
Thanks for the tip. I was taught RAPT for Recognition, Anti-col, Pitot, Transponder. But I like ATPL, very apt
Chilli,
I still beg to differ, but that's me I guess
The ANO doesn't seem to reference a/c weight in realtion to day operations and lights. Also, clause 4 is simply a safety caveat. The days or conditions in which clause 4 can reasonably used are limited. It is quite clear that at all other times, you must have your beacon on. It does also specify flashing white lights as anti-collision lights too.
In my opinion, even the anti-cols on PA28s are not dazzling during the day...just irrirating. Granted, at night the oder says that they may be switched of as long as you have your nav lights on.
If nothing else, anti-col is a clear sign that there is somebody in the a/c and it is quite likely that the engine is going to start soon. I would class their use as good airmanship.
