Abstract

One hundred ninety-three nations work together and share airspace for their mutual advantage through the International Civil Aviation Institution (ICAO), a United Nations institution (ICAO, n.d.). Since its founding in 1944, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has supported countries diplomatically and technologically to enable the development of a rapid and reliable global air mobility network that links families, businesses, and cultures globally while fostering socioeconomic prosperity and sustainable development everywhere aircraft are flown (ICAO, n.d.). However, some countries are not members and do not conform to the ICAO rules. Therefore, they have to file for differences from the ICAO regulations. One good example is the case of the anti-collision lights in the maneuvering area, where American aviation has filed for some differences to the ICAO regulations on the same.

[...] These red lights are visible to ground crews as planes take off or land. Anti-collision lights in the beacon design flash, which makes them easy to recognize. US Version According to the FAA, US national rules state that airplanes in an airport's movement area with engines running are not required to display lights, indicating that fact from dusk to dawn (Dynamics, 2020). To support this argument, section 9.209(b) states that an aircraft fitted with an anti-collision light system may only be flown once its anti-collision lights are lighted. [...]

[...] Moreover, pilots with FAA licenses can switch these anti-collision lights on or off. For that reason, pilots with the FAA license should be aware that when using the ICAO license, these lights should always be on as long as the aircraft is live. References Air Power.

[...] The pilot could unknowingly enter the route of another aircraft if one of these devices malfunctions (Monroe Aerospace, 2022). Naturally, collisions do not only happen in the air. On the runway, there are many more crashes than in the air. Anti-collision lights increase airplane visibility, which lowers the risk of these kinds of collisions. Beacon and Strobe are the two varieties of anti-collision lights. The anti-collision beacon lights are red at all times. They are situated at the fuselage's top and bottom. [...]
