August 2, 200223 yr While working on the Duck project, with Bill Morad and Bob Familton doing the panel work, I had decided to have him delete a landing light switch since in none of the many photos I had examined could I see any.Bill broght up a very good question though. If flying that plane today, would it have to have any?Or is there some sort of legal waiver for historical aircraft?I have no idea!!Heather
August 2, 200223 yr Under 14 CFR Part 91, a plane only needs a landing light at night if it is for hire/rent. I don't have the FARs available to see what the other chapters/parts (135, 121) say.

August 2, 200223 yr From the AIMAircraft position lights are required to be on from sunset to sunrise. In addition, aircraft equipped with anti-collision lights must have them on during day and night operations. The PIC can turn off anti-collision lights if he or she determines that they constitute a safety hazard in adverse weather conditions. (AIM 4-3-23) Pg A-203.DAVID C.
