Beacon?

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

 

Just had a small question:

Check this video please:

 

What is that red flashing light on the winglet at 0:33?

It can't be the Nav lights as they don't flash.

Is it the beacon? Aren't the beacon below the fuselage? Are they so powerful?! :)

 

Thanks,

 

Cheers

Yes, those are the beacons. They are normally located on the top and bottom, and are quite powerful.

Thanks Chris!

 

Could anyone also confirm that at 1:00, the lights flashing on the floor (ie. runway) are the strobes?

 

Thanks!

Yes, the white flashing is the strobes.
