  • Viggen: Only Anti Collision Lights.

Fenced out at night or during really bad weather

Position lights to Steady or Flash?

  • For aircraft that can set position lights to different modes (F-5E, A-10C, L-39C, F-16C etc), set the position lights to the Steady position.

When fenced in

  • Turn all lights off. This is normally done by simply switching the master lights switch off.
  • At night, or in poor weather, you may leave the lights on as needed if you need to stay in formation.

Taxi/landing lights

  • When taxiing, turn taxi lights on when you are moving or about to move.
  • When landing, always turn landing lights on.
  • In some aircraft (F/A-18C for instance) taxi and landing lights use the same switch.

During CASE 1 carrier ops

  • Turn all lights off. This is normally done by simply switching the master lights switch off.
  • Do not use taxi/landing lights during carrier ops.

During CASE 3 carrier ops

  • When starting up on the boat, turn on Strobe, Full Position Lights and Full Formation Lights, but set the master lights switch to OFF, making your aircraft go dark.
  • Just before taking off, when calling "Salute" and setting full power, set the master lights switch to ON, enabling all lights.
  • Do not use taxi/landing lights during carrier ops.
