Question about plane spotting at night

Hi Spotters,

I am wondering if there is a rule of thumb for spotters while taking photo’s of aircraft on approach at night with flash.

I have heard from many pilots that they do not care (I am one that does not care) and some that find it irritating a flash going off during approach.

I am just curious and am not trying to criticise any spotter, I am going to BNE to watch the A380 land and it going to be a night arrival (according to Qantas website) and would like to get some shot’s

Should i wait till the aircraft has past my point? or should i just have a longer exposure set on the cammera or just take the photo with flash?

Thanks and happy spotting.
