Reduction of Anti-Collision Lighting Visibility for Safety

In plain language

If you determine during flight that the bright anti-collision lights are a hazard or compromise safety, you are allowed to reduce their visible distance to less than 3 statute miles.

Requirement as structured

The FAA accepts the remote PIC reducing the visible distance of the anti-collision lighting to less than 3 statute miles during flight if they determine it is in the interest of safety.

Original regulatory text

However, the remote PIC may reduce the visible distance of the lighting to less than 3 sm during flight if he or she has determined that it would be in the interest of safety to do so.
