Airborne
Fenced out during daytime
- Land based aircraft: Turn Strobe on and set full Position Lights.
- Viggen: Only Anti Collision Lights.
- Carrier based aircraft: No lights (Master Light Switch to OFF).
Fenced out at night or during really bad weather
- Turn on Strobe, Full Position Lights and Full Formation Lights.
- Viggen: All lights on.
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.
