Lights come on at different times but in congested airspace I like the motto "See and Be Seen."

Ok, but why the pilots form the video turned on the taxi lights when passing 10000ft? I didn't saw that they turned on the landing lights, and I know that they are mandatory.

but why the pilots form the video turned

 

What video are you talking  about?  didn't  see any link to it. Are you sure  they were taxi lights  and not the landing lights

Can't find that video right now, but I remember that taxi lights were turned on when entering the runway, and on decent when passing 10000ft or maybe below. I also remember it was not good visibility on approach, maybe that's why they turned on also taxi lights.

I watched few PilotsEye videos and noticed that Jurgen is disconecting the AP pretty far from the runway. Why don't he allow the plane to use the glideslope till, let's say, 200ft above? I thought that is maybe because AP can't handle rudder, was windshear on final. But watched his aproach on KSFA few times and the weather was perfect.

 

I know it is more entertaining and challenging to fly the final approach manually. Is that an answer to my question?

Also, I'm keeping the AT (autothrottle) all the way down till the some 20-30ft above the runway, then I turn it off and set the throttle to idle (retard). IS that the proper way to do it? Never had a chance to see in PilotsEye or any video how the pilots and when are they managing the AT.
