Please, could someone explain which aircraft lights (position, navigation, beacon, strobes, airline logo( if available)) have to be used on which part of a flight. I normally use all of them all the time (on ground or airborne), but this is probably wrong. ThanksHarry

Google/Bing are your friends. I would check out this link first: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_landing_lights; then look near the bottom of the article for links to Navigation and Warning Lights. Aircraft lighting is different in different parts of the world as explained in these links so you might get several different explanations from flight simmers around the world. Hope this helps!Best regards,Jim Young
