Question HELLO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT LIGHTS MUST AN AIRPLANE HAVE ON DURING THE DAY TIME, AND THE NIGHT TIME? AND I LOOK AT THE PLANES IN THE DAY TIME BUT I DONT SEE ANY LIGHTS , SO I WAS WONDERING WHY MUST A PLANE HAVE THEIR LIGHTS ON DURING THE DAY IF THERE NOT AS VISIBLE AS NIGHT???
Answer hi mike,
daytime lights are anti collison which are red flashing under and on top of the aircraft. night lights are red and green on the wingtips, anti collison, and strobes. also headlights are used on landing which are sometimes on the front wheels and on the leading edges of the wings.
