Ace Your 107
UA.I.B.K25

A remote pilot in command operating at night determines that full-intensity anti-collision lighting is affecting their ability to see the aircraft in certain conditions. Under § 107.29(a)(2), what may the remote PIC do?

Why: 14 CFR § 107.29(a)(2) allows the remote PIC to reduce the intensity of the anti-collision lighting, but not to extinguish it, when operating conditions make that reduction in the interest of safety.

  • Extinguishing the lighting entirely is expressly barred by § 107.29(a)(2)'s text; only intensity reduction is permitted.
  • Swapping to a steady light would not satisfy the rule's requirement for a flash rate sufficient to avoid a collision, which only a flashing anti-collision light can meet.
