At night, Part 107 anti-collision lights must be visible for at least how far?

3 statute miles.

  1. 3 statute miles ✔
  2. 1 statute mile
  3. 5 statute miles

Why: Night flight needs lit anti-collision lighting visible for at least 3 statute miles, flashing fast enough to avoid a collision. The pilot must also have passed the test or training after April 6, 2021.

Huh, didn't know that: The anti-collision lighting rule for night and twilight is one the FAA can waive.

The dad joke
Why was the drone so popular at night? It really knew how to light up the sky.
