Since NAV lights are NOT required to be on between sunrise and sunset, are you insulted by your company SOP or in the wrong profession?
The NAV lights on our fleet stay on all the time for safety. It is a company policy, one of many we exercise not required by FAR.
I'll ask a more direct question and stop beating around the bush.
Why would a Captain and a Co-pilot forget to turn on the weather radar when required? What would they be doing in the cockpit that they would forget such a basic safety of flight item? I haven't read a good answer to that in this thread yet.
