SERA.3215 - Lights to be displayed by aircraft
Hi folks,
SERA.3215 (d) states that 'Except as provided by (e), all aircraft in flight and fitted with anti-collision lights to meet the requirement of (a)(1) shall display such lights also during day'
[NB (e) above is 'a pilot shall be permitted to switch off or reduce the intensity of any flashing lights fitted....if they do or are likely to (1) adversely affect the satisfactory performance of duties; or (2) subject an outside observer to harmful dazzle;(a)(1) above is 'anti-collision lights intended to attract attention to the aircraft']
UK ANO Rules of the Air 2015 Section 4 states that 'an aircraft may continue to fly during the day in the event of a failure of an anti-collision light provided the light is repaired at the earliest practicable opportunity'
My question is this: not sure if the UK ANO exemption above specifically refers to an aircraft in flight to continue flying, but can an aircraft on the ground with a known u/s anti-collision light basically take-off?
Any clarification appreciated.
