Airplanes need lights when they’re flying at high altitudes, just like car lights.
So what lights do airplanes have, and what exactly do they do?
1. Red anti-collision LIGHT: also known as BEACON light, EACON LIGHT or BEACON, respectively installed in the upper and lower middle of the aircraft, one for each.
The purpose is to prevent collision between aircraft.
The lamp flashes at a certain frequency according to the controller of the model.
This light is on when the aircraft is pushed out and the engine is running!
2. WING LIGHT: Also called WING LIGHT, two single-beam lights on each side of the wing illuminate the leading edge of the wing and the engine intake.
Used to check for ice.
This LIGHT should be turned on when there is a possibility of icing, but it is usually turned on in practical application. 3. Navigation and sign lights: NAVIAGATION LIGHT, LOGO LIGHT, Boeing aircraft fly as two switches, Airbus aircraft together.
Navigation lights: red on the left, green on the right and tail white on the wing tip and tail tail.
Used to identify the flying object as an aircraft and to indicate the direction of flight.
Logo lights are mounted on the wing tips of the horizontal stabilizer on each side to provide illumination of the airline logo on the vertical stabilizer.
Airbus aircraft has two sets of navigation lights, its LOGO lights on when the main landing gear shock strut is compressed or the flaps are extended more than 15 degrees.
4. The NOSE light (on Airbus aircraft), which is mounted on the nose landing gear, is called the take-off light and the taxiing light.
When placed in T.O position, the takeoff light and TAXI light are both on, while when placed in taxi, only the taxi light is on.
This light is used for the front lighting of taxiways and runways. It is placed in TAXI position when the aircraft is taxiing and in T.O position after entering the runway.
Shut down after takeoff.
Nose gear retracts, automatically closes.
TAXI LIGHT (Boeing aircraft) : TAXI LIGHT, mounted on the nose landing gear shock strut.
1.
It is used to illuminate the front of the plane while taxiing on the ground.
Turn on while taxiing and turn off immediately after lifting off the ground.
5, LANDING LIGHT: LANDING LIGHT, this light installed on both sides of the machine wing root, left and right two.
Used to illuminate the runway during takeoff and landing.
This lamp has high power and high heat production when used, so it needs high speed airflow for cooling.
So it can’t be opened until takeoff from the ground.
Open before takeoff skidding, close 10000Feet.
6. Runway exit light: also called turn light or runway side light.
Boeing RUNWAY TAKEOFF LIGHT, Airbus RUNWAY TURN.
Mounted on the nose landing gear shock strut, one on the left and one on the right, providing light on both sides of the nose front.
Used for lighting taxiway and runway sideline.
Close after takeoff.
Nose gear closes automatically when retracted.
7. High-brightness white STROBE LIGHT: also known as high-brightness white anti-collision light, STROBE LIGHT.
This lamp is installed on wing slightly before and after each one and the coccyx, Boeing aircraft installed on the left and pointed the later one, coccygeal vertebra a total of 3, airbus planes install rear wings in front of the left and right wing tip and coccygeal vertebra, a total of 5 only.
The purpose is to prevent collision between aircraft.
The lamp flashes at a certain frequency according to the controller of the model and the brightness is very high.
Note: Do not turn on this light until you have permission to enter the runway!
This light can be turned off above FL100.
Turn off this light before landing off the runway!!
The WHITE STROBE LIGHT SHOULD BE TURNED OFF ABOVE 10,000 FEET, BUT IN THE CASE OF OPPOSITE OR CROSS CROSSING on the route, THE WHITE STROBE light should be turned on to SHOW THE POSITION of other aircraft for faster detection!
In addition, it seems to be through the clouds, fog, visibility is low, all to open.
The latest market dynamics at any time to see, please pay attention to.
