G4 landing lights
Hello all,
I am a piston pilot and while waiting to line up on the runway a G4 rolled past with it's two inboard leading edge lights flashing on and off. I have never seen this before. Was i seeing things or is this common. Thos was about 3 in the arvo.
Thanks

Saw these (alternate) lights at Aberdeen whilst waiting at the hold for a Gulf.5 to land.
Certainly got them noticed,but thought we'd been done for taxying too fast up to the holding point!
Or of course for the 16kg of H in the FOs socks..

they're more noticable than a steady light. also, birds are more akin to get out of the way of the flashing lights rather than a steady one.
they're pretty standard on helos, aka bird lights
