Landing Lights on Airliners

This is the first time I have ever posted on this internet message forum. I have been too busy flying the big iron to play on the internet. However now I am very senior and have a few more days off. Life is good when you are a certified Continental EMB-120 pilot.

Reserve is either really fun or really boring, isn't it?

Bullsh!t. Plus, you are fooing no one and your game is WAY stale.

At least come up with some new schtick.

I am a certified EMB-120 FO.

Are you really a CERTIFIED EMB-120 FO??? You DORK!!!!! I agree with Yank, get a new game. This one's old!!
PS- Really no need to keep saying your "certified" as an FO, nobody's impressed.


BTW-When did GIA get E120's??

The 737's and MD series that have the landing lights near the wingtips...they extend and retract backwards into the wing. It is either tied to the gear handle or the lding light switch (someone chime in if I screw this up).

Flying I,

Yes, you're pretty close. On the MD80, the retraction/extinguishing of the wing landing lights is only tied to the gear handle in the event of an engine failure, i.e. lost an engine on takeoff/GA, when the gear is retracted the landing lights retract/extinguish. DC9 didn't have this feature.

Under normal circumstances, they're operated by the switches in the cockpit for ext/ret. No speed limits for them but they cause a good bit of vibration above 250kts. On the -9, you could retract then partially and keep them illuminated, alleviating a good bit of the vibration. The MD80 arrangement of the switches didn't allow this luxury.

As others have said, you want to use all the lighting you can below 10,000 to improve your visibility to other airplanes...day or night.
