Airbus A320WL flying at night with no lights
Wonder if someone can answer me a question. I wont mention the airline or destination in case I get someone into trouble. I'm very curious about what happened on a recent night flight we went on.
We flew on an Airbus A320WL.
During the climb I noticed the beacon and strobes were on, as soon as we reached cruise altitude these we're turned off until we started our descent.
I thought this was really unusual as every other flight I've taken these have always remained on throughout the flight. Is this now standard procedure for night flights?
All the best,
