You'll ramp up really fast---soon to 'an expert at learning' like all the rest of us! :) Nobody knows it all, at any one given moment in time....:)))))Keep enjoying the hobby!Mitch

Thanks Ray!As I have stated in another post...there is never an end to learning, or to walking through open doors and new concepts/ideas! ;)Thanks for the head's up.Mitch

Really not a big deal Zelensta, don't apologize. I'm not sure who voted Mr. Nitpick as Check Airman of this thread anyhow. Using simple context it was plainly obvious you meant 350.

Or>just general convention?>>>Rhett>Rhett, I just checked the F.A.A. database and found that this rule of landing lights on below 10,000 feet is more S.O.P. for most North American airlines. At 10,000 feet and below, you are at 250 knots or less and on some aircraft, this is the speed or less that landing lights that are on landing struts can be operated safely. About the 250 knots below 10,000 feet, that one was truly more for flight separation than for cockpit penetration, but cockpit penetration is no laughing matter if you have a Canadian Goose or what's left of it in your teeth! Makes it kind of hard to maintain control of the aircraft...O:)Rhett, below is a quote from a captain's blog....'Some aircraft (Airbus, for example) have speed restrictions with regard to the operation of the landing lights and they'll usually be turned on or off usually passing through 10,000 feet. Below 10,000 feet aircraft are restricted to flying no faster than 250 knots for air traffic control purposes, and below 10,000 feet the speed limitation for the landing lights is met. This speed restriction for the lights has to do with how they extend and retract when they are turned on or off.'http://www.fromthecockpit.com/Ask_Cap_n_Me..._Questions.htmlMeryl Getline is a pilot, author of the award-winning book The World at My Feet and a keynote speaker for corporate and other gatherings
