Hey Guys!!! No need to get all touchy about this !!!! here is the info straight from the manual:
Anti-Collision/Beacon Lights
The two anti-collision/beacon lights which do not rotate flash at a rate of 60 +/- 10 flashes per minute. Both lights give 360 degrees of horizontal, and 75 degrees of vertical diffusion.
B.
Strobe Lights
The two forward facing strobe lights and the rearward facing strobe light flash at the same time at a rate of 60 +/- 10 flashes per minute. Additionally a second flash tube in the forward facing strobe lights flashes at a rate of 60 +/- 10 flashes per minute. This produces 120 +/- 10 flashes per minute in the forward direction and 60 +/- 10 flashes per minute in the rearward direction.
Now if people read it with their minds open.....can see Strobes flash twice that of beacons and Airbus trainers in Toulouse actually prove it by specially mentioning and describing that our human brain is unable to synchronise the 2 different flashing lights at such a high rate so AIRBUS strobes appear to be flashing TWICE together!!! if you want a proof.....next time you are on an Airbus aircraft just put only strobes ON and then put only beacons ON and the put Both ON at the same time, you will know!!!
ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW.....IF PEOPLE STOP ASSUMING THEY KNOW EVERYTHING!!!!!
