Discretion to Reduce Anti-Collision Lighting Intensity

In plain language

You may dim or reduce the intensity of your drone's anti-collision lights if they are so bright that they prevent you from safely tracking the drone's position, speed, or attitude.

Requirement as structured

The FAA allows the remote PIC to reduce the intensity of the anti-collision lighting if they determine it is in the interest of safety to do so.

Original regulatory text

However, the remote PIC may reduce the intensity of the light if the remote PIC determines it is in the interest of safety to do so.
